Knew when I felt it hit
Stood in the park under the eclipse
It was only a field trip 'til it cooled my blood
That's how it tends to start
You're in the light, then you're in the dark
Then someone throws a flare
You tasted my underwear
I knew we were fucked
My bed is on fire
Mama, I'm so scared
Don't know how to come back
Once I get out on the edge
He spit in my mouth like
He's saying a prayer
But now I'm crying on the phone
Swearing nothing's wrong
Blame it on current affairs
All alone in my room
Watching the tape of their honeymoon
On the boat, it was pure and true
Then the film came out
Hope that we can ignore
Voices we hear through the open door
Would you dive to the ocean floor
Just to take my pearl?
Cause my bed is on fire
Mama, I'm so scared
Were you ever like this
Once you went out on the edge?
He spit in my mouth like
He's saying a prayer
But now I'm crying on the phone
Swearing nothing's wrong
Blame it on current affairs
But now I'm high enough to know
Yeah, I think he's gon(e,) blame it on current affairs

Now, I know that this song is by a popular, current artist. But before you give a 1 or 2 on “general principles”. Think to yourself, if this were by some group you’ve never heard of, what would you give it? For me, the music is, ok. Nothing special. Lyrics? I really didn’t need to know about her lover’s particular fetish, but that’s the only really objectionable part. 6-7 for me. Will move up or down on further plays.
