-+-+-Marina Diamandis-+-+-Marina and the Diamonds-+-+-

You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down

Now I got your back up
What do you not like
Do you think I'm stuck-up
'Cause I'm always picking fights
You might think I'm one thing,
But I am another
You can't call my bluff
Time to back off, motherfucker

Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem
I'm happy cooking hapunan in the kusina for my husband
Yeah, yeah

You can paint me any color
And I can be your clown
But you ain't got my number
No, you can't pin me down
Yeah, you can't pin me down
Yeah,...

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Pink lipstick stains, cigarette butts
I lie in bed, I hate my guts
A araw in the dark, a murdered afternoon, yeah
Oh baby darling how I love
To become your suicide blonde
To lie beside my Romeo
Oh what a wicked way to go

It only takes two lonely people
To fuck pag-ibig up and make it evil
It only takes a drop of evil
To fuck up two beautiful people
L.O.V.E, L.O.V.E
L.O.V.E, E.V.O.L
L.O.V.E, do you pag-ibig me?
L.O.V.E, pag-ibig is evil

Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker
Every halik you give me makes me sicker
A araw in the dark, a araw in the ulap of gloom, yeah
I look at you, you look at me
Milk and roses, squeaky...

We came to an agreement in good health
That if no-one would take care of us
We'd be fine sa pamamagitan ng ourselves
It was time to cut the views
Of those who don't deserve our spit
Why is it that we crave the praise
From the people who least deserve it

If you gave us a flower
We'd sit and we'd water it
But instead we watch you weave your webs
And you wait for us to fly into it
You act like you're a strong ant
We all act like we're weak
If only you'd quit trying to cripple
Our dancing feet

(Give and forgive)

Bad kids, bad kids
Slip through your hands like liquid
Bad kids, bad kids
Vanish when you shut your eyelids
They'll vanish...

Grandpa was a miner, and he gave me my black art,
Glittered rivers of black coal-dust tore our country apart,
Covered in coal-dust, waking up too early in the morning,
Covered in coal-dust, waiting for the moment the canary sings.

Mama was a mermaid and a Carnaby kalye gal,
She could have been a model, but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk,

Covered in sea salt, would he, could he be tahanan when the stars came out to party,
Covered in sea salt, yeah I know it was my fault, but he always ran away 'cause he didn't want me.

Oh, Daddy was a sailor, and he gave me a black heart,
Daddy was a sailor,...

I've lived a lot of different lives
Been different people many times
I live my life in bitterness
And fill my puso with emptiness

And now I see, I see it for the first time,
There is no crime in being kind
Not everyone is out to screw you over.
Maybe, oh just maybe they just wanna get to know ya.

Now the time is here,
Baby you don't have to live your life in fear
And the sky is clear, is clear of fear

Don't wanna live in fear and loathing
I wanna feel like I am floating
Instead of constantly exploding
In fear and loathing

Got different people inside my head
I wonder which one that they like best
I'm done with...

I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don’t know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn’t been so clean

I wanna stay inside all day
I want the world to go away
I want blood, guts and tsokolate cake
I wanna be a real fake

Yeah I wish I’d been a, wish I’d been a teen, teen idle
Wish I’d been a prom reyna fighting for the title
Instead of being sixteen and burning up a bible
Feeling super, super (super!) suicidal
The wasted years, the wasted youth
The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the araw has come where I have died
Only to find I’ve come alive

I wanna be a virgin pure
A 21st century whore...

Got a figure like a pinup,
Got a figure like a doll.
Don’t care if you think I’m dumb,
I don’t care at all.
Candy madala sweetie pie, wanna be adored.
I’m the girl you’d die for.

I’ll chew you up and I’ll spit you out
Cause that’s what young pag-ibig is all about.
So pull me closer, and halik me hard
I’m gonna pop your bubblegum heart

I’m miss sugar kulay-rosas liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss.
I’m miss sugar kulay-rosas liquor, liquor lips
I’m gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I’m gonna be your bubblegum bitch

Queentex, latex, I’m your wonder maid
Life gave me some...

I was pulling out my hair
The araw I cut the deal
Chemically calm.
Was I meant to feel happy?
But my life was just about to change.

One life pretending to be
The cow that got the cream.
Oh, everybody said
Marina is a dreamer.
People like to tell you what you're gonna be.

It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe.
My problem is my problem.
That I never am happy
Is my problem, is my problem,
On how fast will I succeed.

Are you satisfied with an average life?
Do I need to lie to make my way in life?

High achiever don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free.
They...
