lyrics
i was walking a tightrope
and you were checking it out
when all of the birdies and the butterflies
flew right out of my mouth
do you believe in little miracles?
cuz i wanna turn into the marigolds
so im walking on the power lines
but no one told me about how shocking it was
to quit being alive, quit being alive
yeah you got something in your soul
the chemicals inside the water
i guess there’s things i’ll never know
just give me five before the slaughter
can you feel it in your bones?
Cuz i can feel it in my soul
and you’re in every single dream i have
making your way back home
painting your knuckles in gold
do you believe in anything i say?
i saw you laying by the palisades
and i was walking on the powerlines
but no one told me about how shocking it was
quit being alive — quit being alive
yeah you got someone in your head
they must be living in your brainstem
i guess there’s things i never said
if you want me to i can tame them
And kiss them all goodbye
And I’d like to see you try
yeah you got something in your soul
it’s all the plastic in our bloodstreams
next time we trade our pain for gold
suffer in silence telepathically
i guess there’s shit i never said
they must be living in our brain stems
yeah you got someone in your head
and you were checking it out
when all of the birdies and the butterflies
flew right out of my mouth
do you believe in little miracles?
cuz i wanna turn into the marigolds
so im walking on the power lines
but no one told me about how shocking it was
to quit being alive, quit being alive
yeah you got something in your soul
the chemicals inside the water
i guess there’s things i’ll never know
just give me five before the slaughter
can you feel it in your bones?
Cuz i can feel it in my soul
and you’re in every single dream i have
making your way back home
painting your knuckles in gold
do you believe in anything i say?
i saw you laying by the palisades
and i was walking on the powerlines
but no one told me about how shocking it was
quit being alive — quit being alive
yeah you got someone in your head
they must be living in your brainstem
i guess there’s things i never said
if you want me to i can tame them
And kiss them all goodbye
And I’d like to see you try
yeah you got something in your soul
it’s all the plastic in our bloodstreams
next time we trade our pain for gold
suffer in silence telepathically
i guess there’s shit i never said
they must be living in our brain stems
yeah you got someone in your head
