Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Skin up like lightning
Breathing flames from tourist trade
Your eyes go quite frightening
You lock gaze onto my face
[Verse 2]
Heavy eyed, crawling on the roadside
Swinging from the streetlights
I hope by the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
[Verse 3]
I'll escape with him
Show him all my skin
Then I'll go
I'll go home
Amsterdam
[Verse 4]
I'm a flying kite in the breeze
Just restlessly seeking images
A child needs to help them sleep
I've been thinking that I should see someone
Just to find out if I'm alright
[Verse 5]
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
[Verse 6]
I'll escape with him
Show him all my skin
Then I'll go
I'll go home
Amsterdam
[Verse 7]
I used to dream of adventure
When I was younger
With lungs miniature
But now we're with killing
Our brain cells
Is this called living?
Or something else?
Or something else?
Or something else?
[Verse 8]
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
By the morning I will have grown back
