Yellow Flicker Beat Lyrics - Lorde

1 I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm

2 And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold

3 My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones

4 It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me

5 I move through town, I'm quiet like a fight

6 And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it

7 And now people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home

8 People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes

9 I'm done with it, oh

10 This is the start of how it ever ends

11 They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

12 I'm speeding up and this is the

13 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

14 We're at the start, the colours disappear

15 I never watch the stars, there's so much down here

16 So I just try, keep up with the

17 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

18 I dream all year, but they're not the sweet kinds

19 And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

20 And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now

21 People talk to me, and all their faces blur

22 But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison

23 And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

24 I'm done with it, oh

25 This is the start of how it ever ends

26 They used to shout my name, now they whisper it

27 I'm speeding up and this is the

28 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

29 We're at the start, the colours disappear

30 I never watch the stars, there's so much down here

31 So I just try, keep up with the

32 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

33 And this is the

34 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

35 And this is the

36 Red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat
