I Heard from Purple Pyramids by Nathaniel Star

Nathaniel Star's 'I Heard' is a playful and steamy song about night-time escapades. It celebrates the allure and mystery of 'freaks' coming out when the lights go down. The lyrics suggest a sensual encounter, laced with flirty banter and provocative imagery, like smeared lipstick and high heels. The repeated phrase 'I heard them say the freaks come out' teases the listener, hinting at wild secrets and risqué affairs. The song also challenges the norm, suggesting that if these 'freaks' were genuine, they'd express their wild side in the light as well.

Lyrics

I heard them say the freaks come out
Out at night
Walkin' all around
In plain sight
Baby, if that's true
Dim the lights
I wanna believe you
Prove me right

Midnight, silhouette
Shaped like, oh my goodness gracious
Baby
Praise the ones that made ya
I've never seen nothing like you, girl
Lock me up, bailiff, I'm guilty
Smeared lipstick, leave those heels on
Nasty, no, girl, I'm filthy
Trojan horse gallop in through your walls

I heard them say the freak come out
Out at night
Walkin' all around
In plain sight
Baby, if that's true
Dim the lights
I wanna believe you
Prove me right

Two a.m
My pink Lamborghini
On our way to my pool, girl, let's swim
Look at you, in your birthday bikini
I'm about to get wet, girl, I'm diving in
Lock me up, bailiff, I'm guilty
Smeared lipstick, leave those heels on
Nasty, baby, I'm filthy
Trojan horse, gallop in through your walls

I heard them say the freaks come out
Out at night
Walking all around
In plain sight
Baby, if that's true
It's true
Dim the lights
I wanna believe you
You prove me right
I heard them say the freaks come out
Out at night
But if they really freaks
They would do it in the light
They would do it in the light
I heard y'all some freaks, baby
Is that what you hear
That's what I heard
That's what I heard too, baby
I mean, that is what I heard
