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.

River to valley, coast to coast, and cheek to cheek

Wherever I go, there I am, sat next to me.

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.

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.

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.

Give me a leg, give me a leg, give me a leg

Give me a leg to stand on, stand on.

[X4]

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.
