[Intro]
Don't you know what you're doing? (Oh)
You've got a death wish
Yeah?
Suicide blonde, suicide blonde
Suicide blonde, suicide blonde
[Verse 1]
Suicide blonde was the colour of her hair

Woah, baby, you lost the plan
[Chorus]
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
[Verse 2]
She stripped to the beat

White light everywhere
But you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze, a mad, sad moment
Glory to you, glory to you, take me there
Ooh, take me there (Ow)
[Verse 3]
You got some revelation put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don't you see the colour of deception?
Turning your world around again
[Chorus]
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde, say it
[Post-Chorus]
(You wanna make—)
(You wanna make—)
You wanna make her suicide blonde
You wanna make— (Hahaha)
Ow
[Bridge]
That's the story
Everything you wanna be
Everything you are, are
Mm-mm, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde (Oh)
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde, yeah
[Outro]
Love devastation
You wanna make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You wanna make her suicide blonde
