Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a girl on a carousel reaching out her hands
But no one reaches back and she doesn't understand

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines

[Verse 2]
There's a house in my neighborhood with a perfect lawn
But inside the kitchen there's something deeply wrong

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines

[Verse 3]
And that house is getting flooded and the walls are falling down
When Melatonin cries, she makes everybody drown

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 4]
There's a girl at a party eating cake alone
That boy will be sorry when he picks up the phone

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines

[Verse 5]
Her teddy bear is crazy
Grabbed a knife and chased her
She had to kill him, it didn't even phase her

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines

[Verse 6]
Now the girl's at a funeral dressed in all black
Someone just died but the girl isn't sad

[Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Nothing ever stays inside the lines

[Bridge]
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book
These are the pages in my coloring book

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la-ah-ah-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-oh-ah-ah
La-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
