Cover art for Bambi lyrics by Tokyo Police Club

here's what I got, some minor corrections:

I wanna tell you there's a really good reason why I came home wasted in the middle of the night a tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees where I was always a winner and I was usually right

oh, you can watch it when you get a bit older but for now in the bad bits, I should cover your eyes she painted pictures with the tips of her fingers sewing buttons to Bambi, tying strings to a kite

turning into black and white underneath the swinging lights buried awake but I still got my stripes 'cause you're the killer with the colored kite

I wanna tell you there's a really good reason why I came down easy, spinning threads to your throne a tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees where I was always a winner and I was barely alone

turning into black and white underneath the swinging lights buried awake but I still got my stripes 'cause you're the killer with the colored kite

tangled up to untie don't know what to do tangled up to untie don't know what to do

turning into black and white underneath the swinging lights buried awake but I still got my stripes 'cause you're the killer with the colored kite

turning into black and white

Lyric Correction

yeah, these definitely sound right. thanks for posting. glad someone else is as nerdy as I am enough to interpret these by ear haha

It says Barely Awake, not Buried awake, the original posted lyrics are correct. he's saying that even though he's barely awake he can still recollect himself

definitely wrong there. it's "barely awake" not "buried awake" and it's "tangled up tongue-tied" not "tangled up to untie" it's "a throne" not "your throne"

yeah, some of those lyrics would make sense, but that's not what he's singing.
