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

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 coloured 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 coloured 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 coloured kite

Turning into black and white
