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
