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
