-
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 fires found a home in me
-
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
-
And my necklace is of rope
-
I tie it and untie it
-
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)
-
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 rip the start, the colours disappear
-
I never watch the stars
-
There's so much down here
-
So I just try to keep up with them
-
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
-
I'm locking up
-
Everyone who ever laid a finger on me
-
I'm done with it (ooh)
-
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 rip the start, the colours disappear
-
I never watch the stars
-
There's so much down here
-
So I just try to keep up with them
-
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat
-
Sparking up my heart
-
Oh oh oh
-
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
-
Sparking up my heart
-
Oh oh oh
-
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
