The Moth Song
[The Moth Song]

[Verse]
Here we go, yeah
I'm kind of obsessed with the city lights
A moth to the flame like that
Gotta stay safe, if you're not careful, the city bites
You'll get burned when the flame strikes back
Despite that, I'm back in this bitch
Not really that much I happened to miss
I just had to resist going back in the abyss
To straighten some kid out with a bash of my fist
Gotta live by example
Party on, brother, all night, till things get to hot for you to handle
That's cause you think you gotta do it just to please somebody else
That's the swag of teenagers and vandals
Fuck that, we off it, cause we got too much class
If we want to party, do it for ourselves, so we know how to act
Yeah, can't tell me nothing cause I know just where it's at
Coyote in all black
Cause I'm killing it
Uh-huh

[Hook]
Live with the sound
That ambience of that nightlife, downtown just
Kiss your girl and say goodnight (just)
Kiss your girl and say goodnight, yeah
It's highlife season
With smiles on your face like you don't need a reason
Kiss your man and say goodnight (just)

Kiss your man like it's for one night only
If you really want it then show me
Talking that mess about fantasy and reality
But fuck it, it's all the same to me
You got it, girl

One last time
Gonna raise my glass like the world is mine, I'mma
Kiss my girl and say goodnight (I'mma)
Kiss my girl and say goodnight

[Bridge 1]
Don't say a word now
Just watch it happen

No need to speak, sir
Just watch it happen

Just shut the fuck up
And watch it happen

Open your eyes now
And see what happens
[Verse]
I'm kind of obsessed with the city lights
A moth to the flame like that
But whenever I'm around them, I just know it's gonna be all right
Guess I'm just lame like that
What the fuck am I saying? I am awesome personified
Won't apologize
But you are awesome too for listening to all these words that I'm saying
In a way, you know, we harmonize
Living harlem nights
But back to me being so great
Native American spirit, get it? You're so late
Coyote, baby, we stay fresher than colgate
Feel the magic pulsate
Can't stay in one place, we rotate
Panoramic view
Man, what can you do?
Really, if I had to choose
I would take the offer that you can't refuse
The city is brightest inside your melon
Say you are what you eat? Guess I ate a fucking legend
That's real, ha

[Hook]

[Bridge 2]
Don't say a word now
Just watch it happen
No need to speak, ma'am
Just watch it happen

Just shut the fuck up
And watch it happen

Open your eyes now
And see what happens

[Verse]
I'm beyond obsessed with the city lights
Starting to think it transcends reality
You know there's nothing really quite like the city life
It's almost worth giving up my immortality
Disaster recipe with madness sold separately
I've lived forever but I swear, this place will be the death of me
A moth to the flame, guess I'll go out with a bang
But I'll do it on my own terms, I control this game
And I swear by the end of it, you all will know my name, man
I'm just drawn to the fire like a caveman
I'm just drawn to the chaos like a human
Sometimes, I've got to wonder, "the hell am I doing?"
Oh yeah, I'm being myself and that's fine
God knows, I can be no one else, oh, that's right
Now I'm out of spiritual hibernation
Yeah, Coyote's taking over, thank you for your patience
Now let's do it, keep it going now, baby

[Bridge]
A spirit with the madness of a human
Yeah, it's all right
Oh yeah, it's all right
To let it go

They made this wonderland, I'm so drawn to it
But it's all right
Oh yeah, it's all right
I let it go

A moth with wings so bright, so light and fluid
Fill this whole night
You fill this whole night
With miracles

You can have your fun and keep yourself from losing
You'll be all right
You'll be all right
You'll be all right

Capitan!
Ha, woo!

[Verse: Captain Kirk]
Uh, too fly for the lames
A moth in my city where people don't sleep but always dream
I often see the fire and only just admire
But this time I feel confident enough to touch the flame
It's my night, I'mma live it right
How elevated I'm getting will probably be my plight, oh well
I'll live for ever if forever is tonight (if forever is tonight?)
If forever is tonight (yo)
I'mma live it up, live it up, like I want to
We don't give a fut, give a fut, that's the montra
Homie, pour it up, pour it up, where's the Vodka?
We gon' burn it up, burn it up, where's the ganja
Think I drink too much, threw it up, in a coma
Woke up in a bed with a half-naked woman
She said I'll beat it up, trying to cuff, I don't want to
She said, "I know you not about them relationship things
But I can be your buttercup if you know what I mean
A girl that knows how to powerpuff that green"
I said, "Not to sound rude, but shawty, I don't want you
I'm just a moth trying to do big things, like I'm Mothra
She said my ambition was something that she admired
But don't let it consume me when I touch the fire, then she flew away
I flew out, bumped into my homie, Trey, he said, "Cap, you should try this"
Looked at him funny, he said "Bruh, you gon' like it"
I took a couple puffs, had me stuck, but I liked it
Last thing I heard was him say "yeah, dawg, I spiked it"
Then my life did the same thing the strobe lights did
Thought I was tripping, it turns out, I OD'ed
Now I'm flying over my body that's being watched by a Coyote
Dang, I should've listened to the dame
Should've stuck to admiring the fire, rather than touch the flame
Uh

Oh well

[Hook]

[Bridge 1 & 2]

[Outro]
Uh, yeah yeah, I'mma take you downtown
Yo, yo, yo, yeah, I'mma take you downtown
Yeah, what? what? yeah, I'mma take you downtown
Yo, keep it going, keep it going now, I'mma take you downtown

Yeah, C-O-Y-O-T-E, I'mma take you downtown
Yeah, Bass and Treble for life, baby, I'mma take you downtown
Yeah, Vaudeville in the place, baby, I'mma take you downtown
I'mma take you downtown
I'mma take you downtown

Ha, yeah
It's QJ Of Vaudeville
Yo
Stay calm, keep it classy

Downtown
