Parrots In The Tropical Trees Lyrics - Singles - Breathe Owl Breathe

I thought they were kissing, 

but they were biting 

Parrots in the tropical trees 

Well they don't have lips like you or I, so what do you say we kiss? 

There's parrots in the tropical trees 

in the ocean, the ocean 

breeze 

The giraffe stretches out his long neck 

to the leaves he has not reached yet 

and I am no giraffe 

that's why I swing in a hammock 

There's parrots in the tropical trees 

in the ocean, the ocean 

breeze 

I was okay when I first moved away 

now I'm in too deep 

I wear my pain like a lion wears his mane 

I wish you were here with me 

There's parrots in the tropical trees 

in the ocean, the ocean 

breeze 

The waves that crash are scary but inviting 

The waves that crash are scary but inviting 

The seagulls are larger than usual 

Tidal wave 

What gives you the entitlement to wash me away? 

That's my love in the flood 

This is how long my love lives on 

Tidal wave 

What gives you the entitlement to wash me away? 

That's my love in the flood 

This is how long I can hold on 

I thought they were kissing, 

but they were biting 

Parrots in the tropical trees 

I've lost somebody 

I've lost somebody too 

There's always a storm ready 

to wash away everything you knew 

This is how long my love lives on
