I have loved all over the place But you have got my favorite face Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass And your lips are sweet and slippery like a cherub's bare wet ass 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes And every time the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16 And you f*ck like a volcano, and you're everything to me 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast You're a giant, flying friction blast 'Cause you're a human supernova A solar superman You're an angel with wings of fire A flying, giant friction blast
