Caligulove Lyrics
[Instrument Intro]
[Verse 1]
In the temple (I was an offering)
Of the heartless (I was an offering)
I was humbled (I was an offering)
And reborn, into a god
[Pre-Chorus 1]
My dearest sensitive soul is just
A tyrant who enslaves
All those around him
To make certain he
He is hurt, always
[Chorus]
I don't need a reason, baby
Put your arms around me
Hold me real close, clap me in irons
Come on, Caligulove me
Come on, Caligulove me
[Verse 2]
You can hear it (As an offering)
If you're a good girl (As an offering)
A righteous choir is singing (As an offering)
No, screaming, as they burn
[Verse 1]
In the temple (I was an offering)
Of the heartless (I was an offering)
I was humbled (I was an offering)
And reborn, into a god
[Pre-Chorus 1]
My dearest sensitive soul is just
A tyrant who enslaves
All those around him
To make certain he
He is hurt, always
[Chorus]
I don't need a reason, baby
Put your arms around me
Hold me real close, clap me in irons
Come on, Caligulove me
Come on, Caligulove me
[Verse 2]
You can hear it (As an offering)
If you're a good girl (As an offering)
A righteous choir is singing (As an offering)
No, screaming, as they burn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Darling, there are no taboos in lust
My veins course blood
That's so venomous
When the heartless hears a heartbeat
He's jealous, so jealous
[Chorus]
I don't need a reason, baby
Put your arms around me
Hold me real close, clap me in irons
Come on, Caligulove me
I already gotcha, baby
Put yourself upon me
I'm in lust, a slave to desire
When you Caligulove me
[Post-Chorus]
Come on, love me
Hold me real close, love me
Need your Caligulove, girl
Caligulove
[Instrument Outro]
Darling, there are no taboos in lust
My veins course blood
That's so venomous
When the heartless hears a heartbeat
He's jealous, so jealous
[Chorus]
I don't need a reason, baby
Put your arms around me
Hold me real close, clap me in irons
Come on, Caligulove me
I already gotcha, baby
Put yourself upon me
I'm in lust, a slave to desire
When you Caligulove me
[Post-Chorus]
Come on, love me
Hold me real close, love me
Need your Caligulove, girl
Caligulove
[Instrument Outro]
