That all the pretties in your bed 00:25
Escape your hands and make you sad 00:27

Lyrics:

[English]

Avada Kadavra I speak to destroy

The feelings I have I cannot avoid

Through twisted tongues A hex deployed on you

That all the pretties in your bed

Escape your hands and make you sad

And all the things you wish you had you lose

I, I, I know you’re living a lie

I, I, I see the scars in your eyes

I, I, I know you’re living a lie

I, I, I guess you’d rather have a star than the moon

I guess I always overestimate you

Hoodoo all the things that you do

I’m down down in my Doomsday blue

(I, I, I know you’re living a lie)

(I, I, I know you’re living a lie)

Avada Kadavra The thoughts in my head

The places I touch when lying in bed

The visions of you the words that you said Undo

My heartbeat buried in the ground

And to the strings I bind you’re bound

So when you sleep you’ll hear my sound (cuckoo)

I, I, I know you’re living a lie

I, I, I see the scars in your eyes

I, I, I know you’re living a lie

I, I, I guess you’d rather have a star than the moon

I guess I always overestimate you

Hoodoo all the things that you do

I’m down down in my Doomsday blue

I guess you’d rather have a star than the moon

I guess I always overestimate you

Hoodoo all the things that you do

I’m down down in my Doomsday blue

For your romance

I’d beg steal and borrow

It’s draining me hollow You-ooooh

You could slow dance me

Out of sorrow

But your favourite colour Compared to the others is doom

Doomsday blue

Blue

Blue

Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue

Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue

Avada Kadavra I speak to destroy!
