Lyrics
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
Oh, 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
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Barely awake, but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with the colored kite
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
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Barely awake, but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with the colored kite
Tangled up, tongue-tied
Tell me what to do
Tangled up, tongue-tied
Tell me what to do
Turning into black and white
Underneath the swinging lights
Barely awake, but I still got my stripes
'Cause you're the killer with the colored kite
Turning into black and white
