Handmade Heaven Songtext

von Marina and the Diamonds

I envy the birds
High up in the trees
They live out their lives
So purposefully
I envy the spiders
The squirrels and seeds
They all find their way
Automatically
But in this handmade heaven
I come alive
Blue birds forever
Colour the sky
In this handmade heaven
We forget the time
'Cause birds of a feather
Fly together
I carry along
A feel of unease
I want to belong
Like the birds in the trees
I sit on my own
Look over the town
The skyscrapers glow
Like they'll never fall down
But in this handmade heaven
It's paradise
Blue birds forever
Colour the sky
In this handmade heaven
We forget the time
'Cause birds of a feather
Fly together
In this handmade heaven (I come alive)
Ooh, birds forever (colour the sky)
In this handmade heaven
Handmade heaven
Handmade heaven
Handmade heaven
And I can no longer ignore
The ivy growing tall
This life don't suit me anymore
The writings on the wall
In this handmade heaven
Blue birds forever
In this handmade heaven
Handmade heaven
Handmade heaven
Handmade heaven
Ooh, birds forever
Birds of a feather
Ooh, birds forever
Fly together
Ooh, birds forever
In the strange, strange weather
Ooh, birds forever
In this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven
In this handmade heaven
