Coloring Book

There's a girl on a carousel reaching out her hands
But no one reaches back and she doesn't understand
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines
There's a house in my neighborhood with a perfect lawn
But inside the kitchen there's something deeply wrong
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines
And that house is getting flooded and the walls are falling down
When melatonin cries, she makes everybody drown
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
There's a girl at a party eating cake alone
That boy will be sorry when he picks up the phone
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines
Her teddy bear is crazy
Grabbed a knife and chased her
She had to kill him, it didn't even phase her
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines
Now the girl's at a funeral dressed in all black
Someone just died but the girl isn't sad
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
