Lyrics

Paranormal Romance

I tried to reason with
The man in me
But he was out of town
No keys
And so I'm locked outside
The ark of time
And now the future's here
I'm nobody

I wanna live
Superlative
Should you and I get out of this universe
It's evident
You're revenant
I wanna make it last forever

I just want somebody
I just want somebody to love
I'm in the void
I'm humanoid
I just wanna be your boy

And I wanna feel like Hercules
Damn I wish I had the energy
Of Conan the adventurer
So spiritual, never ill
And I wish I was a vampire
Shooting pool with you here in hellfire
Or your phantom of the opera
Like a ghost, wanna dose
Of paranormal romance

You pull apart
My human heart
Mythology should get a medical officer
You're anagrams
And holograms
I know that I will never understand you

I just want somebody
I just want somebody to love
I'm in the void
I'm humanoid
I just wanna be your boy

And I wanna feel like Hercules
Damn I wish I had the energy
Of Conan the adventurer
So spiritual, never ill
And I wish I was a vampire
Shooting pool with you here in hellfire
Or your phantom of the opera
Like a ghost, wanna dose
Of paranormal romance

And I wanna feel like Hercules
Damn I wish I had the energy
Of Conan the adventurer
So spiritual, never ill
And I wish I was a vampire
Shooting pool with you here in hellfire
Or your phantom of the opera
Like a ghost, wanna dose
Of paranormal romance
Like a ghost, wanna dose
Of paranormal romance
