[Intro]
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 1]
Bitter honey, sweet tears
Dripping down through the years
I’ll be hungry till I’m full
Only shiny through your dull
Between the pleasure and the pain
Weird science in my brain
Hang your mirrors on the walls
Till the creature gets caught
[Pre-Chorus]
Just because it’s you
Doesn’t mean I’m gonna like it
Just because it’s true
Doesn’t mean that I’ll be blinded
[Chorus]
You just want what you never can
Want what you never can’t have
Only love ‘cause it makes you feel
Love ‘cause it makes you feel bad
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Hit me with a hammer bow
Fire till you stop cold
Oh, and that’s what Sappho called it
Packaged it and we bought it
[Pre-Chorus]
Just because it’s you
Doesn’t mean I’m gonna like it
Just because it’s cruel
Doesn’t mean we won’t desire it
[Chorus]
You just want what you never can
Want what you never can’t have
Only love ‘cause it makes you feel
Love ‘cause it makes you feel bad
You just want what you never can
Want what you never can’t have
Only love ‘cause it makes you feel
Love ‘cause it makes you feel bad
[Bridge]
Am I dreaming all I feel electrified?
Am I dreaming I see Eros in the skies?
Beating wings and threading needles into eyes
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Chorus]
You just want what you never can
Want what you never can’t have
Only love ‘cause it makes you feel
Love ‘cause it makes you feel bad
[Outro]
Am I dreaming all I feel electrified?
Am I dreaming I see Eros in the skies?

This was a collaboration with Planningtorock, which I was very excited about as I loved their earlier work like “Lets Talk About Gender Baby”. I’d been reading a book called Eros the Bittersweet by Anne Carson that explores the Greeks’ idea of love and desire tracing back to poems of Sappho and othe...
