lyrics

La dee da,
Da dee da,
La da dee da,
La dee da...

Paint me a picture,
Alive in the things that she said.
Whispering fiction,
I must be out of my head.
Stories so solemnly told and retold,
Stunning hyperbole sold and resold,
See my face through the eyes of the girl.

Beautiful stranger,
Features as sharp as a knife.
Cutting and carving,
Digging straight into your life.
A damsel distressed is now dressed for the kill,
You think that you know that she won't, but she will.
You're a game through the eyes of the girl.

La dee da,
Da dee da,
La da dee da,
La dee da...

Oh now only you know,
Words that were written and all that was missing,
And oh I know that you know,
I'm not as bad as the monster you painted,
But I won't understand,
No I don't understand,
No I won't understand how you can forget...

La dee da,
Da dee da,
La da dee da,
La dee da...

She shows up in my dream,
Kicking and screaming so obviously,
Seeing red through the eyes of the girl.
Seeing red through the eyes of the girl,
It's all in my head through the eyes of the girl,
When you're dead in her eyes.
