Lyrics[]
Avada Kedavra, I speak to destroy
The feelings I have, I cannot avoid
Through twisted tongues, a hex deployed on you
That all the pretties in your bed escape your hands and make you sad
And all of the things you wish you had, you lose
I, I, I know you're living a lie
I, I, I see the scars in your eyes
I, I, I know you're living a lie
I, I
I guess you'd rather have a star than the moon
I guess I always overestimate you
Hoodoo all the things that you do
I'm down, down in my doomsday blues
I, I, I know you're living a lie
I, I, I know you're living a lie
Avada Kedavra, the thoughts in my hеad
The places I touch when lying in bеd
The visions of you the words that you said, undo
My heartbeat buried in the ground and to the strings I bind you're bound
So when you sleep you hear the sound (Cuckoo)
I, I, I know you're living a lie
I, I, I see the scars in your eyes
I, I, I know you're living a lie
I, I
I guess you'd rather have a star than the moon
I guess I always overestimate you
Hoodoo all the things that you do
I'm down, down in my doomsday blues
I guess you'd rather have a star than the moon
I guess I always overestimate you
Hoodoo all the things that you do
I'm down, down in my doomsday blues
For your romance I'd beg, steal and borrow
It's draining me hollow, you
You could slow dance me out of my sorrow
But your favourite colour compared to the others is blue
Doomsday blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
Avada Kedavra, I speak to destroy
Trivia[]
- While most viewers associate "Avada Kedavra" as the incantation of the "Killing Curse" in the Harry Potter book and film series, the phrase is actually Aramaic for "let the thing be destroyed", making this the first use of the Aramaic language at Eurovision.
