I¡¯m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm.
|
And the scars that mark my body, they¡¯re silver and gold,
|
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones,
|
It keeps my veins hot, the fire's found a home in me.
|
I move through town, I¡¯m quiet like a fight,
|
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie.
|
|
And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home
|
People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes.
|
I¡¯m done with it (ooh)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
This is the start of how it all ends
|
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
|
I¡¯m speeding up and this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
|
We're at the start, the colours disappear
|
I never watch the stars, there¡¯s so much down here
|
So I just try to keep up with the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
|
|
I dream all year, but they¡¯re not the sweet kinds
|
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time
|
|
And now people talk to me, I¡¯m slipping out of reach now
|
People talk to me, and all their faces blur
|
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
|
And I¡¯m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
|
I¡¯m done with it (ooh)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
|
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
|
