Beautiful chaos, come wreak your revenge Come shower me with your madness, so sweet in your intent Shoot me full of holes and let your colours bleed You give to me amuse and the poetry that I need And there's so many shades, so many shades, shades of green
I'm laying in the dark and listening to the rain Reminds me of you and makes me sad all over again Your confidence and whispers, your measured swoons and sighs Your crocodile tears and your handmedown alibis And there's so many shades, so many shades, shades of green Shades of green Shades of green
And it's playing how the heart plays tricks on the mind How little white lies hurt when you're trying to be kind It's easy to forgive but it's so hard to forget And it's easy to see how deceive becomes regret And there's so many shades, so many shades, shades of green Shades of green Shades of green Shades of green
So please can you tell me what your deceit achieved? I believe in colour and the hurt you give will receive So sleep with your snakes and enjoy their viper's kiss I want you to know there's nothing about you that I miss And there's so many shades, so many shades, shades of green Shades of green Shades of green Shades of green Shades of green Shades of green So many shades, shades of green
