(Ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Gemini
I'm a myth and a legend
Who never wins
And might not ever play again
Keep falling in (keep falling in, yeah)
Love so fast and back out again
Speeding
When I should ease in
Oh, I know myself, my sins
Dug my pit, then I fell in
Pulled the trigger, killed us both
Lesson learned but truth gets old
Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of pleasure, littlе depression (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
How can I tell if? How can I mеasure? (ooh, ah)
If I don't know (ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (woah)
Ba-ba-ba (ah)
I looked up at the ceiling as I draft my: I'm so sorry text
Don't regret the choice I chose but do regret the mess I made
I see your hurt, I wish I could just hold you tight and close
Don't need long, just wanna say: I love you and miss you the most
Oh, I know myself, my skin
Rolling Stones don't crawl back in
Daddy's faults fell down on me
Break that curse for sweet relief
Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
How can I tell if? How can I measure? (ooh, ah)
If I don't know (ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Mercury running amuck my mind
Can't tell if I'm winning or falling behind
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Venus in retrograde got me in bed
And thinkin' 'bout all of the shit that I said
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Gemini scope give me depth till I'm dead
But I can't seem to get the fuck out of my head
Well, fuck it, I'll just cop a Porsche instead
I do as I please and you see where it lead
Guess somethin' ain't 'bout to happen to me
You think I'm two-faced, I can name twenty-three
My layers, all these sides
Could you stick by for the ride?
It's a thrill, and I don't even know how to feel
It might be too real
Might be too—
Real, might be too real, real
I said: Might be too—
Might, I said: Might be too real, real
I said: Might be too real
Excuse me if I lied
I forgot I said that
Can you forgive my tongue?
I'll show where my head at
I don't think I'm the one
But I could be your girlfriend
till retrograde is done
