Longevity Lyrics

Harmonizing, with a ghost off the ape vase
Just like the old days
Golden seaplane, dollar tusk in the tape bin
What a bargain

All the time up in Yellowknife
Found oysters from the beach
Undressed from the waist
My girl says that

All the rain promises
Is to give life to the seeds
, see
Live in the moment
Never count on longevity, please


Ribbons, showing, very, plainly on her skin
A kind of warming
Heels over head, with her, never monetized
My love, the space case

All the time down in perigee
Legs bruised up from the beast
Undressed from the waist
My girl says that

All the rain promises
Is to give life to the seeds, see
Live in the moment
Never count on longevity, please

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
