I thought they were kissing, but they were biting Parrots in the tropical trees Well they don't have lips like you or I, so what do you say we kiss? There's parrots in the tropical trees in the ocean, the ocean breeze The giraffe stretches out his long neck to the leaves he has not reached yet and I am no giraffe that's why I swing in a hammock There's parrots in the tropical trees in the ocean, the ocean breeze I was okay when I first moved away now I'm in too deep I wear my pain like a lion wears his mane I wish you were here with me There's parrots in the tropical trees in the ocean, the ocean breeze The waves that crash are scary but inviting The waves that crash are scary but inviting The seagulls are larger than usual Tidal wave What gives you the entitlement to wash me away? That's my love in the flood This is how long my love lives on Tidal wave What gives you the entitlement to wash me away? That's my love in the flood This is how long I can hold on I thought they were kissing, but they were biting Parrots in the tropical trees I've lost somebody I've lost somebody too There's always a storm ready to wash away everything you knew This is how long my love lives on
