I thought they were kissing,
but they were biting
Parrots in the tropical trees
Well they don't have lips like you or I, so what do you say we kiss?There's parrots in the tropical trees
in the ocean, the ocean
breezeThe giraffe stretches out his long neck
to the leaves he has not reached yet
and I am no giraffe
that's why I swing in a hammockThere's parrots in the tropical trees
in the ocean, the ocean
breezeI was okay when I first moved away
now I'm in too deepI wear my pain like a lion wears his mane
I wish you were here with meThere's parrots in the tropical trees
in the ocean, the ocean
breezeThe waves that crash are scary but inviting
The waves that crash are scary but inviting
The seagulls are larger than usualTidal wave
What gives you the entitlement to wash me away?
That's my love in the flood
This is how long my love lives onTidal wave
What gives you the entitlement to wash me away?
That's my love in the flood
This is how long I can hold onI thought they were kissing,
but they were biting
Parrots in the tropical treesI've lost somebody
I've lost somebody too
There's always a storm ready
to wash away everything you knew
This is how long my love lives on
