Lyrics

[00:00.00] Freeze!
[00:01.88] It's time to take you home,
[00:04.62] it feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door.
[00:10.65] Now our lips are numb!
[00:12.14] As we walk, sharing warm alcohol
[00:15.53] That kiss tastes like summer.
[00:19.15] I hope you like the stars I stole for you,
[00:23.86] One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue.
[00:30.31] I'll be the brightest someday!
[00:32.46] I'll be the brightest someday!
[00:34.77] I'll be the brightest, you'll see!
[00:38.55] Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
[00:44.17] I like it better when you can't keep warm.
[00:47.69] Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
[00:53.93] The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun.
[01:04.99] Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky,
[01:11.54] we bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways.
[01:15.92] And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
[01:19.83] When will it end? And who ****ing cares?
[01:23.77] I swear to God I did what I could.
[01:28.07] I practically begged you, I pretended everything was fine.
[01:34.67] A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare.
[01:39.56] I'd rather be dead.
[01:42.59] Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
[01:47.74] I like it better when you can't keep warm.
[01:51.67] Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
[01:57.30] The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head.
[02:24.93] I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom,
[02:28.77] you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you.
[02:33.29] You died in California by the sulfur and the sea.
[02:39.36] but I do forever 'cause you loved me.
[02:42.98] And I break my glasses as I fall in the street!
[02:46.31] If you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me?
[02:50.94] Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste,
[02:55.51] 'cause without you there is no me.
[03:11.80] There's no me at all.
[03:17.92] Sometimes love dies like a dog.
[03:38.96] Don't rain on my parade, it's gonna glow in the dark.
[03:44.72] I like it better when you can't keep warm.
[03:48.89] Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
[03:53.95] The boy on the blue moon dreams...
[03:56.77] (Don't rain on my parade.)
[04:07.26] I'm losing a perfect thing, a perfect thing, a perfect thing.
