VERSE 1
Absinthe in my hand
There's dirt in my shirt
The taste of fire in my mouth again

Two new colours in the rainbow
I think they deserved a chance
An accident waiting for happenstance

CHORUS
Oh my god,
There's that voice again
I know I'll make that choice again

For the thousandth time in my memory
That internal voice always scuppering me


VERSE 2
My knife in my hand
My blood on her skirt
I knew today conspired to cause me hurt

Who knew love without her say so?
I blew every single chance
A wilderness chained up
And made to dance

CHORUS
Oh my god,
There's that voice again
I know I'll make that choice again

For the hundred thousandth time in my memory
That eternal voice always scuppering me

The sadness will last forever
The sadness

VERSE 3
Brush in my hand
Paint on my shirt
Vivid colours take the place of dirt

A few new butterfly tornados
A hole in the chest of France
I whistled in the wheat field
The melody of circumstance

My gun in my hand

Whoops I watched this a couple of days ago and forgot to leave a comment. Really enjoyed this. You seem to be a natural showman. The lyrics are fantastic. Well done!
