The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us!

Lyrics

[ARCTIINI] Thinking outrageously, I write in cursive I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers I see my own breath on the face of the door [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] I am not quite sleeping [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] I am fast in bed [BARSINE & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] There on the wall in the bedroom, creeping [BARSINE & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] I see the wasp with her wings outstretched North of Savanna we swim in the Palisades I come out wearing my brother's red hat There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times He runs washing his face in his hands [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] How I meant to tease him [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] How I meant no harm [BARSINE & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] Touching his back with my hand I kiss him [BARSINE & NACNA] Oh [ARCTIINI] I see the wasp on the length of my arm [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] Oh, great sights upon this state Hallelujah Wonders bright and rivers, lake Hallelujah [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA, ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] We were in love, we were in love (Oh, great sights upon this state) Palisades, Palisades I can wait Hallelujah We were in love, we were in love (Wonders bright and rivers, lake) Palisades, Palisades I can wait Hallelu— [ARCTIINI] We were in love, we were in love Palisades, Palisades I can wait, I can wait [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] We were in love, we were in love Palisades, Palisades I can wait, I can wait We were in love, we were in love Palisades, Palisades I can wait, I can wait [ARCTIINI] I can't explain The state that I'm in The state of my heart He was my best friend Into the car From the backseat Oh, admiration And falling asleep [ARCTIINI, BARSINE, & NACNA] All of my powers Day after day I can tell you We swaggered and swayed Deep in the tower The prairies below I can tell you The telling gets old [ARCTIINI, BARSINE & NACNA, NACNA] Terrible sting and terrible storm (Great sights upon this state) I can tell you the day we were born (Hallelujah) My friend is gone, he ran away (Wonders bright and rivers, lake) I can tell you, I love him each day (Hallelujah) Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged (Great sights upon this state) I can tell you, I love him each day (Hallelujah) Terrible sting and terrible storm (We were in love, we were in love) I can tell you (Palisades, Palisades, I can wait, I can wait)
