[Verse 1]
The more I teach it, the less I can
Quick out the gates but slow out the pack, oh
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 glass, 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]
Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg
Give me a leg to stand on, stand on
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
