lyrics

Can’t beat it.
There’s no way you can take your own pulse.
And read it.
With a level head and an even mind.
You’d feel it.
Coming down your veins and into your heart.
That meter.
Counting seconds till we’ve got a family.

Your empanadas are hotter
than Cassius Clay working the sauna
and taking his socks off in August.
The patterns of Saturn are catching
the matching pajamas.
The cat's in your lap now,
and I'm a new dad!
I'm a new dad!

Can't steal it.
There's no way I could replicate your style.
You'd see it.
Crawling down my spine and into my loins.

Your empanadas are sculptures,
the vultures who are the apostles
of culture insist you're a prophet.
The wallet in Mercury's pocket is bursting,
the minions are burning mementos,
and I'm a new dad!
I'm a new dad!

Should I feed him?
He's growing stronger with the passing days
My reason
for this life on Earth rests in his temples

Your empanadas are pictures
of scriptures imagined and realized,
the sea ice is wilting,
We're gilding a statue of Venus
who sees us and whispers good tidings
while fighting the famous
and I'm a new dad!
I'm a new dad!
