Were like the fairy queens of the river rats, wearing gas station sunglasses and hats

A tune that I like enough to stay laughing with you in the golden hour haze

You read my palm and I guess Im gonna have a great life

You say my spirit animal is a dragonfly 
G              Em    F             C 
Were like the fairy queens of the river rats
