[00:00.15]Yellow Flicker Beat - Lorde
[00:01.19]
[00:15.17]I  m a princess cut from marble,
[00:18.36]
[00:19.64]smoother than a storm
[00:20.91]
[00:25.12]And the scars that mark my body,
[00:28.49]
[00:29.61]they  re silver and gold
[00:30.99]
[00:35.51]My blood is a flood of rubies,
[00:39.06]precious stones
[00:39.90]
[00:40.77]It keeps my veins hot,
[00:42.47]
[00:43.07]the fires find a home in me
[00:46.10]
[00:46.88]I move through town,
[00:48.33]
[00:49.52]I  m quiet like a fight
[00:51.37]
[00:55.42]And my necklace is of rope,
[00:58.23]
[00:59.65]I tie it and untie it
[01:02.23]
[01:06.25]People talk to me,
[01:07.61]
[01:08.44]but nothing ever hits home
[01:11.28]People talk to me,
[01:13.17]and all the voices just burn holes
[01:15.83]
[01:17.28]I  m done with it ooh
[01:18.82]
[01:19.89]This is the start of how it ever ends
[01:23.96]
[01:24.98]They used to shout my name,
[01:26.58]
[01:27.11]now they whisper it
[01:28.48]
[01:29.79]I  m speeding up and this is the
[01:33.91]Red, orange,
[01:35.45]yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[01:38.88]
[01:39.99]We  re at the start, the colors disappear
[01:43.97]
[01:45.00]I never watch the stars,
[01:46.73]
[01:47.35]there  s so much down here
[01:48.67]
[01:49.99]So I just try to keep up with them
[01:54.22]Red, orange,
[01:55.68]yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[01:58.87]
[02:00.28]I dream all year,
[02:01.77]
[02:02.54]but they  re not the sweet kinds
[02:04.38]
[02:08.74]And the shivers move down
[02:10.58]
[02:11.29]my shoulder blades in double time
[02:14.52]
[02:18.87]And now people talk
[02:20.48]to me I  m slipping out of reach now
[02:24.27]People talk to me, and all their faces blur
[02:27.77]
[02:28.53]But I got my fingers laced together
[02:30.84]
[02:31.38]and I made a little prison
[02:33.74]And I  m locking up everyone
[02:36.37]
[02:36.93]who ever laid a finger on me
[02:39.86]
[02:43.09]I  m done with it ooh
[02:44.47]
[02:45.77]This is the start of how it ever ends
[02:49.96]
[02:50.83]They used to shout my name,
[02:53.01]now they whisper it
[02:54.36]
[02:55.68]I  m speeding up and this is the
[02:59.56]Red, orange,
[03:00.58]
[03:01.15]yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[03:04.43]
[03:05.77]We  re at the start, the colors disappear
[03:09.40]
[03:10.81]I never watch the stars,
[03:12.48]
[03:13.11]there  s so much down here
[03:14.52]
[03:15.86]So I just try to keep up with them
[03:20.09]Red, orange,
[03:21.43]yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
[03:24.68]
[03:28.61]And this is the red, orange,
[03:31.37]yellow flicker beat
[03:33.22]Sparking up my heart
[03:34.81]
[03:38.70]And this is the red, orange,
[03:41.63]yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
[03:43.63]
