Ghosts
03:29

Ghosts try to talk me into waking up
They rise like steam from my coffee cup
Must mean it's Monday, I'm acting tough
Pretend the weekend was long enough
Ghosts try to talk me into shutting my mouth
"Girl, you really think you're gonna make it now?
You're scared to death, can't even make a sound
You'll wait for Wednesday to come around"
Ghosts try to talk me into giving up
I don't believe them, I know I'm stuck
Cause I'm bored to death when I'm writing for the man
I'll clock my hours, then I'll test my luck
Still, ghosts try to talk me into feeling old
My hips they lie and my wrinkles fold
But I won't be fooled by the art and copy
Gravity works against every body
Ghosts tried to talk me out of moving on
Live for the weekend, just have fun
I did, I tried, but I died too young
There's more to life than chasing the sun
Oh, Honey, I
You got crows feet, I grew bunions
You move slowly, I'm on the run
You rise early, I chase the sun
Let's start aging while we're still young
Turns out gray hairs have the most fun
Tell everyone

Dancing With Fire
02:50
|
|||
|
Walk around the neighborhood
Each corner keeps my secrets
Everywhere I thought was good is littered with your footsteps
Turn the corner and I see myself in all my glory
23, a tight body but lost in someone's story
Bent over my shoulder, you'd whisper come over
Take everything off but wear my hat
Who was guilty, was it one of us?
I never liked you but I like the touch
I forgive her for wanting the rush
Dancing with fire but I sway too much
I used you to get to me
Touched myself with your body
At work when you would brush my cheek I'd ignore you in the lobby
I told you it's over, you hated the closure
Is that why you gave me your fucking hat?
Who was guilty, was it one of us?
I never liked you but I like the touch
I forgive her for wanting the rush
Dancing with fire but I sway too much
Who was guilty?
I never liked you but I like the touch
I forgive us for wanting the rush
Dancing with fire but it's way too much

Past Loves
04:20
|

|
You push away a little spark
We only make out in the dark
Let's wait until our summer starts
I'll flip a switch inside my heart
Now that it's summer, love's a game
I run to you, blow on the flame
We're soaking wet in the bleeding rain
Wondering if we feel the same
My heart wrote words I didn't know
But I searched yours to feel mine grow
You wrote about us all the time
I couldn't even find a rhyme
My heart wrote words I didn't know
But I searched yours to feel mine grow
You wrote about us all the time
I couldn't even find a rhyme
I tried to rip our story up
But I knew the ending so I stopped
Sometimes love is just a crush
Sometimes no time is enough
My heart writes words I do not know
But I'll learn its language as I go
I find myself in every line
You weren't the first true love of mine
My heart writes words I do not know
But I search yours to feel mine grow
You wrote about us all the time
I couldn't even find a rhyme
Do I miss the chaos or the bliss
Or do I miss those words from your lips
Oh, I can't remember what you said
Your smell has faded from my bed
I write you letters I don't send
I watch the ink dry, I'm content
All of your words have left my heart
Oh, I can't tell past loves apart

Wing Surfing
03:14
|
|||
|
Always waiting on your runway
I'm your mile-high stowaway
Late-night loving is my purpose
Sit back, relax, don't get nervous
Slowly I boss you around
Not an order no wrists bound
Yank my hair as you touch down
Bite my neck and hit the ground
Surfing on a plane wing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop, please do that thing
Make me scream and make me sing
Surfing on a plane wing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop, please do that thing
Make me scream and make me sing
Spit on me I'm your playground
Grab my thighs, I'm shaking now
Hold on tight, my clit's mouth bound
Fuck, your tongue's got me spellbound
Pound me quickly when I'm sticky
I'll ride your rod for electricity
Your nose is boney you smack baloney
You poke my holy anatomy
Then slice me nicely, lick like icing
Watch me rise I'm so enticing
Tricky Rikki fuck me frankly
And don't you dare do it innocently
Surfing on a plane wing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop, please do that thing
Make me scream and make me sing
Surfing on a plane wing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop, please do that thing
Make me scream and make me sing
Oooh
Surfing
Surfing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop please do that thing
Surfing on a plane wing
Surfing on a plane wing
Surfing on a plane wing
Surfing on a plane wing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop, please do that thing
Make me scream and make me sing
Surfing on a plane wing
Everything's amazing
Wait don't stop, please do that thing
Make me scream and make me sing
Ow

Too Young To Notice
02:42
|
|||
|
You were supposed to be my teacher, there to help me find my voice
When I turned 12, you turned my head to kiss me
Guess I had no choice
Looking back, your lessons taught me it's unsafe to be with boys
It only took me 20 years
Me too
Her too, to make some noise
You were supposed to be my doctor, there to check up on my health
When I sat upon your table, sick, you couldn't help yourself
Cause I was barely ten years old, man that took a lot of nerve
Hippocratic oath to shit, you gotta get what you deserve
Fuck
Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly
Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly
You were supposed to be my boss, there to let me make my name
Never thought you'd be a problem, though you were happily engaged
But happy hour's got you slurring, flirting with no game
Until you're grasping without asking, tell me, why do I feel shame?
So, we took the pill and we drank the sour
Some bled to death in just an hour
You medicate me from my power
I sing of lost cunts in the shower
Don't mistake my truth for anger
Don't make us use the metal hanger
You tell us not to trust a stranger
But it's those we know who are the danger
Ahhhhhh
Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly
Cause even if I was too young to notice
You weren't too old to see
And even if they were too blind to stop it
I won't go quietly
But it doesn't matter, does it? Seems like y'all are still employed
We have to teach you everything you weren't, so I'm annoyed
Cause that is painful labor, I didn't ask to have you boy
My body's under jurisdiction, now we have no fucking choice

Unknown Superstar
03:14

|
She moves to LA with an unstrung guitar
Tapping Tinder while she's running round the reservoir
Propping up the bar, our Unknown Superstar
On the waiting list for Raya as she drafts her first memoir
Daddy's back at home working on her business plan
She just bought a matcha latte for that canceled musician
Grab two bags of kale and a farmer's market tan
She's a premium subscriber cause she's her only Only Fan
I'm so impatient
Demand entertainment
I can't even help it
Tell you how I like it
Course I can be selfish
When I love myself best
Often make a big mess
I'm my favorite weakness
She can dance all night don't get tired of TikTok
Swinging on her hips while they're watching her gum pop
Picking out her clothes so their eyes can undo them
Rubbing on her thighs, pupils wide, made a new friend
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na
I'm so impatient
Cause I demand entertainment
Tell you how I like it
I'm so impatient
Cause I demand entertainment
I can't even
Uh
Uh uh
Uh uh
When I speak I sparkle starry, my vocab's illuminated
I can force you into looking up your horoscope, you hate it
What's your sign I'll tell you mine are you good at communicating
I'm ambitious, taste delicious, even when I'm menstruating
I'm so impatient
Tell you how I like it
I can't even help it
Oh, of course, I can be selfish
Sometimes I love myself best
Cause I'm my favorite weakness
I've been a liar and I know
My body tells me so
When my body tells me no
Oh oh oh

Final Song
03:52
|
|||
|
I'm afraid everyone I love will die
But I'm not afraid that so will I
Cause I've come close, let the light into my eyes
One too many times
It's not the dying part, that happens all the time
People they come they go, it's no concern of mine
It's knowing one day I can't call you on the line
Ask you something simple, "How's your day," "I'm okay, it was fine"
I've got it all but I'm always missing you
I've got it all but 1 plus 1 just doesn't equal 2
when we're all looking up at the same bright and shiny moon
Am I missing from you, too?
Tiny anxiety roots into my heart
My closest family now lives so far apart
We've got internet but it don't feel the same
I wanna hear you call me down for Shabbos dinner, say my name
Is it my fault that I lose life to a screen?
Should I be wary that I share so much of me?
I regret that I'm addicted to the click
But so are you, and aren't we all, and there are worse things to have picked
I've got it all but I'm always missing you
Friends over oceans, I rack Delta miles to visit you
Nothing I wouldn't do to show you all my love
I can write, I can sing and dance but it'll never be enough
I'm only 32 but sometimes I feel old
Trendy sounds, storytime, there's always something new to be sold
Maybe I don't want what I think I'm looking for
But I know you'd say "Rikki, shoot your shot and ignore the score"
I've got it all but it sure hurts when we're apart
I've got it all but I think missing you's an art
And oh, I do it so much I've got a gallery to start
I've got it all but something's missing from my heart
I've got it all but I'm always missing you
I've got it all but am I missing from you, too?
I've got it all but I'm always missing you
I've got it all but am I missing from you, too?
