lyrics

“I’ll give it to you straight,” said the Deputy,
“I lost ‘em on the Interstate doing 105,
They passed me on the right, and they were singin,
‘You’ll never take us alive! It’s our wedding night
We made our vows in the meadow in the dead of night
I will be his Forest, he will be my Light,’”

Mothman:
You’ll never take us alive! He’s got the strength of the Pines,
And I’ve got great big red round light-eating eyes
You take a picture of him? I’ll take your Goddamn Life!
I love the way that he moves when he’s down on all fours,
I love his big hairy hands, I love the way that he roars!
Our love is something that the world ain’t ready for…
So floor it.

Bigfoot:
He found me in the middle of the summer,
Further East than I had ever traveled before
He said “I saw us in the future, in the future we were happy,”
And he walked around his Chevy and he opened the door.
Said “I’ve been running so long, and I know that you’ve been hiding,
And we shouldn’t have to live like this anymore,
And the world will know our love and the world will know our faces
If I had you by my side I wouldn’t care anymore.”

Let’s get married! Let’s burn down every fucking gift shop!
Let’s live like legends! And scare the shit out of the cops!
Let’s start a family! We’ll invite everyone we love.
Live on a homestead! And build the world that we’ve been
Dreaming of.

…YUP!!!

Let’s get married! Let’s burn down every fucking gift shop!
Let’s live like legends! And scare the shit out of the cops!
Let’s start a family! We’ll invite everyone we love.
Live on a homestead! And build the world that we’ve been
Dreaming of.

And when we’re married…
and when we’ve burned down every fuckin gift shop…
When we’re the legends
That scared the shit out of the cops

And when our family
That’s full of everyone we love
Is on that homestead?
We’ll have the world that we’ve been
Dreaming of.
