I heard the bad guy sigh and laugh with little boy
He held his hand, cooled him down, and then went home
And black and white gets caught in words before they know
And happy is what happy does, that you should know

We'll rip holes in the story
I'll rip holes in the story
We'll rip holes in the story
I'll show you

The tales told have grown so old and yet they stick
Growing old doesn't seem so cold if I'm with you
They didn't smile when your hand slipped into mine
But sure did I, couldn't hide it from the lights

We'll rip holes in the story
I'll rip holes in the story
We'll rip holes in the story
I'll show you

Sing it back and they all sound flat
Did they tell you there was more for you to see?
We'll spread our colours wide
Your fairytales have lost their spark tonight
The bad guy cried out slow and slumped into his chair
Should we tell you 'bout the demons in your head?
They told him, follow with the crowd and you'll be fine
Now he's wasted his whole life to stay alive

We'll rip holes in the story
I'll rip holes in the story
We'll rip holes in the story
I'll show you

They didn't smile when your hand slipped into mine
But sure did I, couldn't hide it from the lights
