Raspberry Lime Moons

[Verse 1]
The saucer sat on church hill
Where the cornfields meet the sky
Three small moons hung as witnesses
The night refused to die

The candy court assembled
In their raspberry and lime
The old king took the center aisle
And counted out the time

[Pre-Chorus]
He said, son, I've heard your appetite
I've read your military file
I've measured your teeth and weighed your worth
Now I'll walk her down the aisle

[Chorus]
Eat and be eaten
Love and be true
All that I hunger for
Is answered by you

Through kingdom and cornfield
Through red light and war
The feast is beginning
The vow is the door

Captain White, take your bride
Let the sweet world know
Two catastrophic lovers
With nowhere left to go
But here

[Verse 2]
She came in a crown that hummed and sang
Her robe was burning bright
Her eyes said: I kept your name inside my jaws
Until tonight

The generals wept
The gummy soldiers stood
And somebody in the back said
I didn't think he could

[Pre-Chorus]
The king leaned down and whispered
What only fathers say
Then placed her hand in Captain White's
And turned his face away

[Chorus]
Eat and be eaten
Love and be true
All that I hunger for
Is answered by you

Through kingdom and cornfield
Through red light and war
The feast is beginning
The vow is the door

Captain White, take your bride
Let the sweet world know
Two catastrophic lovers
With nowhere left to go
But here

[Bridge]
He said: I have crossed the red lights
I have faced the ancient king
I have tasted every battlefield
And nothing tasted like this thing

She said: I kept your throne in silence
I have mourned you like a widow
I have worn the heavy sweetness
And I'd wear it still tomorrow

He said: I vow my appetite to you alone
She said: I vow my empire to your bone

We are the gummy and the hunger
We are the signal and the meat
We are the once and future feast

[Breakdown]
The old king raised his licorice fist
The candy court erupted
The moon went gold
The cornfield shook
And the whole sweet world combusted

[Final Chorus]
Eat and be eaten
Love and be true
All that I hunger for
Is answered by you

Through kingdom and cornfield
Through red light and war
The feast is beginning
The vow is the door

Captain White, take your bride
Let the whole world know
Two catastrophic lovers
With nowhere left to go
But here
Together
Here

[Outro]
The old king danced
When nobody saw
He smiled for one moment
With his licorice jaw

The three small moons went soft and low
The gummy court began to glow
Captain White held what he'd earned
And the sweet world turned
