about

This strayed the least from how I initially envisioned it. I think I was aping Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” with OutKast’s “Hey Ya”. Definitely one of the poppiest pop songs I’ve ever done. I love the space in the verses and the pedagogical crescendo as instruments are added, then pulled away, then added, then pulled away. If I’m gonna make pop music, it’s gonna be the poppiest damn pop music you’ll ever hear!

This song’s about staying up all night doing drugs, fucking nocturnal randos. It’s about being reckless and feeling free, while a fatalistic Greek chorus looks down on me and foretells my demise. It’s about taking pleasure in being objectified—in being guiltless—a pleasure that quickly becomes hollow by the next song.

lyrics

I cradle a catty reputation
“Sticks and Stones” when I’m up for lapidation
Laughing off all the scrubs I’ve dated
Kinda difficult when they insist
“We didn’t”

Crawling along the snakes of the land
I am the wicked
You are the Man
I have the knowledge
I am the fruit
But I’m not the wino
Eyeing the flute

The rush
Of flying through the
Forest
Good luck
According to the
Chorus
I’m stuck
According to the
Fables
Good lord
I’m running with all the
Werewolves

Awoo
Awoo
Awoo

I flex my eerie meditations
Patiently waiting, fear flipping faces
These days, no agenda around
Sucking me off and spitting me out, I'm

Crawling along the snakes of the land
I am the wicked
You are the Man
I have the knowledge
I am the fruit
But I’m not the wino, no, no
I am the flute

The rush
Of flying through the
Forest
Good luck
According to the
Chorus
I’m stuck
According to the
Fables
Good lord
I’m running with all the
Werewolves

Awoo
Awoo
Awoo

I know I’ll figure out
Some reason to make you leave
Then I can hunt you down
Once again between my teeth
I’ve got this penchant for
Letting all the good ones bleed
Dancing in the moonlight
Till I’m begging for some goddamn sleep
(Sleep)
Sleep

‘Cause I’m a werewolf!
‘Cause I’m a werewolf!
‘Cause I’m a werewolf!

Oh, I’m running with all the werewolves!
Running with all the werewolves!
I’m running with all the werewolves!
Running with all the werewolves!
I’m feeling like I’m a werewolf!
Oh, I’m feeling like I’m awoo
Awoo!
