Lyrics

Starbelly

[Sample: Unidentified Male]

You know what it is?

Is that you're a masochist

It's what I'm thinking right now

I've never—

[Sample: Unidentified Male]

You know what it is

Is that you're a masochist

It's what I'm thinking right now

I've never—

[Sample: Fleetwood Mac]

...Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night

And wouldn't you love to love her?...

[Sample: Pagan Babies]

...And I walk straight into this mess of mine

And I put on my best Sunday dress

And I walk straight into this mess of mine...
