I want to tell you there's a really good reason
Why I came home wasted in the middle of the night
A tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees
Where I was always a winner and I was usually rightYou can watch it when you get a bit older, but for now in the back, you should cover your eyes
She painted pictured with the tips of her fingers,
Sewing buttons to Bambi,
Tying strings to a kite(Ooh)
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Buried awake, but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with a colored kiteI want to tell you there's a really good reason why I came down easy
Spinning threads to a throne
A tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees
Where I was always a winner and I was barely alone(Ooh)
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Buried awake, but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with a colored kiteTangled up, Tongue tied
Tell me what to do
(x2)(Ooh)
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Buried awake, but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with a colored kiteTurning into black and white
(Ooh)
