[Verse 1]
Coyotes tiptoe in the snow after dark
At home with the ghosts in the national parks
Mankind's behavin' like some serial killers

Mankind's behavin' like some serial killers
Giant ol' monsters afraid of the sharks
[Chorus]
And we're in love with all of it
And we say, "What can we say?"
[Bridge]
And we say, "We're in love with all of it"
And we say, "We're in love with everything"
And we say, "What can we say?"
And we say, "We're in love with all of it"
And we say, "We're in love with everything"
And we say, "What can we say?"
[Outro]
And we say, "We're in love with all of it"
And we say, "We're in love with everything"
And we lie, we love to lie
