Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna 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 right
[Verse 2]
You can watch it when you get a bit older
But for now in the bad bits I should cover your eyes
She painted pictures with the tips of her fingers
Sewing buttons to Bambi, tying strings to a kite
[Verse 3]
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Barely awake but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with the coloured kite
[Verse 4]
I wanna 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
[Verse 5]
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Barely awake but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with the coloured kite
[Verse 6]
Tangled up, tongue tied
Tell me what to do
Tangled up, tongue tied
Tell me what to do
[Verse 7]
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Barely awake but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with the coloured kite
Turning into black and white
