Tarts and Tragedies

Verse 1

Lemon tarts cooling in the sun

Thinking of the court

Wishing I could leave and run

Finding a different sort

Pre-Chorus

Then you appeared with a bow and a joke

Changing the air when you spoke

Changing the path that I took

Chorus

Give me your heart

Let us go to a land far away

Give me your heart

No matter what the prophecies say

You were my Joker

My brave secret hope

But I let it all slip away

Post-Chorus

Ah ah ah

Lost my way

Ah ah ah

Verse 2

The Jabberwock hissed through the trees

Crimson stains on white

I am falling to my knees

Crying in the light

Pre-Chorus

The Executioner did what he was told

Leaving the world feeling cold

Turning my warmth into gold

Chorus

Give me your heart

Let us go to a land far away

Give me your heart

No matter what the prophecies say

You were my Joker

My brave secret hope

But I let it all slip away

Post-Chorus

Ah ah ah

Lost my way

Ah ah ah

Bridge

Cut it out

Take it out

Burn it out

I won't feel a single thing again

Tie the ribbon tight around the pain

Better to be feared than to be slain

Chorus

Off with his head

I have nothing but duty and dread

Off with his head

All the sweet little feelings are dead

I am the Monarch

I am the law

The girl in the garden is fled

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Take the crown

Oh oh oh

Burn it down
