From the recording Cougar
“COUGAR” is the tale of a lonely housewife who starts using psychedelics and visiting younger men to escape the pain of real life and her failing marriage. Told from the point of view of one of her conquests who sings "like a deer under the headlights I find myself drawn into your life", the funky indie pop track expresses secret desires, bitter regrets, and sweet oblivion. The song's ending refrain of "how sweet the sound" features the soulful gospel vocals of Jalissa Livermore and reminds everyone that even if you know it won't end well, you can't turn back. It simply feels too good.
Lyrics
Cougar
You tell me that you’re married
You say it’s not a problem
He’s always working out of town
You tell me that you want me
You’re getting yourself ready
And like a deer under the headlights
I find myself drawn into your life
You open the door
I’m letting myself in
You’re ready to begin
Don’t think about your husband
Fuck it
You got the music playing
You got the fairy lights
You got the champagne flowing
You got the matching set
But there’s no going back
Mushroom hazing regrets last
Cougar
This isn’t gonna end well
That man has left you broken
Confined inside these four gold walls
Fuck
You got the music playing
You got the fairy lights
You got the champagne flowing
You got the matching set
But there’s no going back
Mushroom hazing regrets last
You got the magic dust
You got the cocaine touch
You got the champagne flowing
You got the matching set
But there’s no going back
Mushroom hazing regrets last
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
