lyrics

Glance around like a centerfold, I watch and view you from the royal circle
Take a Magdalena from Episcopal, flip it back around for me
Baby, I’m bone white, a starch white saint
Exploring all the colours they make the paint
Won’t you change for me? Discover who we want to be

Stretched along like a canvas
Fear me, I’m your Praying Mantis
I’m moving, I’m in transit
And you can fear me, hate to be near me

Moving, mouthing, misdemeanor
Feel your hand on the small of my back, enough to set off a panic attack
Fear and worship, all in courtship
Venus Urbino, lose half a kilo
All the best girls, staying on Keto
You think about dessert but stubborn doesn’t make you hurt

Stretched along like a canvas
Fear me, I’m your Praying Mantis
I’m moving, I’m in transit
And you can fear me, hate to be near me

Stretched along like a canvas
Fear me, I’m your Praying Mantis
I’m moving, I’m in transit
And you can fear me, hate to be near me
