LYRICS:
My pretty baby takes the long way home
I love his secrets, but his lies run cold
He whispers magic that I’ve never known
He’s always near, but he’s so hard to hold

He is a pastor to the feral youth
I’m a natural disaster sweeping through
Your town on a summer afternoon
My violet clouds ruining your June

My pretty baby takes the long way home
I love his secrets, but his lies run cold
He whispers magic that I’ve never known
He’s always near, but he’s so hard to hold

I think I’ve met my match
And now my odds are stacked
I think I’ve met my match
I’m wild but he’s mad

The girls, they all gather to hear his prophetic blues
Oh how they shatter when they discover I’m his muse

My pretty baby takes the long way home
I love his secrets, but his lies run cold
He whispers magic that I’ve never known
He’s always near, but he’s so hard to hold!

We’re a cataclysmic crash
Violent in nature, we can’t last

My pretty baby now he really knows
That wild dreams can be sold
He’s kissing sweet as his lies unfold
And I bewitch him body and soul

I think he’s met his match
And now his odds are stacked
I think he’s met his match
I’m wild but he’s mad

there's heaps of symbolism in this video, comment your observations & thoughts, and your predictions for the full album movie if you dare hehe <3

[Vincanni]

Not sure if done on purpose or a happy little accident, but I love how at 0:48 the stained glass in the background is shot in a way that vaguely resembles horns sprouting from the man's head.

[natinthechat]

reminds me of straight to vhs alice and wonderland movies… the forgotten ones that end up on dusty shelves. the best ones ☁️🎂

[alairelaw]

So phenomenal, so haunted, so beautiful; I’m utterly obsessed. The essence of a twisted romance was captured so impeccably🫀 I love everything you do!

[ichthusorrow]

It's rare to find recent songs made with the intention of storytelling, it's even more rare to find songs where the story is told not just through lyrics, but through voice as well. Perfect vocal intonation!!

only 8 hours left im gnawing at the bars of my enclosure fr

[shachi]

i don't know if it's on purpose but i love how when she runs away during the bridge, she repeatedly tugs at her hair like she's trying to pull out feathers, like earlier in the video

also I love the constant callbacks in your videos! like the little white flowers as a callback to angel wild superstar, the fairly lights at the beginning of angel wild superstar as a callback to baby i'm the wolf and so on 🧚

[cobrakaiqueen]

I love this song and music video! The way Pretty Baby wakes up and her fiancé is /literally/ right there is incredible, the way he conducts/manipulates the baby dolls who are the eventual guests at the wedding, and the floral imagery throughout are incredible! I also love the crow imagery — a group of crows being called a murder comes to mind here

LYRICS 🪄🐇🌹

My pretty baby takes the long way home
I love his secrets, but his lies run cold
He whispers magic that I’ve never known
He’s always near, but he’s so hard to hold

He is a pastor to the feral youth
I’m a natural disaster sweeping through
Your town on a summer afternoon
My violet clouds ruining your June

My pretty baby takes the long way home
I love his secrets, but his lies run cold
He whispers magic that I’ve never known
He’s always near, but he’s so hard to hold

I think I’ve met my match
And now my odds arе stacked
I think I’ve met my match
I’m wild but hе’s mad

The girls, they all gather to hear his prophetic blues
Oh how they shatter when they discover I’m his muse

My pretty baby takes the long way home
I love his secrets, but his lies run cold
He whispers magic that I’ve never known
He’s always near, but he’s so hard to hold!

We’re a cataclysmic crash
Violent in nature, we can’t last

My pretty baby now he really knows
That wild dreams can be sold
He’s kissing sweet as his lies unfold
And I bewitch him body and soul

I think he’s met his match
And now his odds are stacked
I think he’s met his match
I’m wild but he’s mad

Damn, this random video just popped in my feed, and I'm not mad about it. I love the 60s-style chanteuse vocals meets vintage goth meets weird clockwork production. A truly haunting jam!

[LuciNyte]

This is one of my favorite music videos of all time

[folklore]
