Lyrics:

[Tegan: Hope you got those shoes off okay Sara.

Sara: *laughs*

Unknown: Okay, go ahead.

Sara: Okay.]

Kissing spiders was always life is good

So went out and I bought me a faith

Selling myself out on the highway

It's better than going to hell

We're on, and done, and done, and done

I've been hoping for kings and wizards

I've been longing for queens and money

I've got everything that I need, but I will never have you

We're on, and done, and done, and done

You're automatic to the stars
You're automatic to my heart

You're automatic to the stars
You're automatic to my heart

Ladybugs marching through my dreams

The spotted drums are beating in heaven

Daring her to spread her vengeance

But I thought that I was doing alright

We're on, and done, and done, and done

I've been dreaming of dragons and honor

I've been longing for saints and money

I've got everything that I need

But I will never have you

We're on, and done, and done, and done

This is the last song that I'll write for you

This is the last song that I'll sing for you

This is the last song that I'll write for you

This is the last song that I'll sing for you

You're automatic to the stars

You're automatic to my heart

Well this is the last song that I'll write for you

This is the last song that I'll sing for you

You're automatic to my heart

You're automatic to my heart

Well this is the last song that I'll write for you

This is the last song that I'll sing for you

This is your last song, this is your last song

'Cause you're automatic to my stars
