The Wombats - Black Flamingo lyrics

[Verse 1] The more I teach it, the less I can Quick out the gates but slower out the pinecone I took the fish out of the sea Burnt down our house and asked the queen around for tea [Pre-Chorus] River to valley, coast to coast, and cheek to cheek Wherever I go, there I am, sat next to me [Chorus] I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse Black flamingo, black flamingo [Verse 2] Up with the drawbridge, but down the hatch The thoughts I juggle are made out of gla**, oh Always a pleasure, never a chore We break our legs and then hit the dancefloor [Pre-Chorus] And it takes it out of me Wherever I go, there I am indefinitely We took a backflip and we landed on our teeth Oh, black flamingo, oh, black flamingo [Bridge] Repeat 4x Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg Give me a leg to stand on, stand on [Chorus] I wanna love you but it hurts, hurts, hurts I wanna stay here but the time slips away from me I wanna stay here in this curse, curse, curse Black flamingo, black flamingo
