lyrics

Amber
Words and music by Lara Travis (except for the line "a kingdom for a stage" which is quoted from William Shakespeare's Henry V)

Glitter on your eyes
And gloss on your lips
You stumble like a baby animal
Dance like a stoned princess

Damaged baby-doll
Platinum mistress
To a rock n' roll man
Who built you a sailing ship
Amber, Amber

Don't listen to a word they say
Cause they can only see in grey
You worry you ain't done enough
But can't you see, you're light itself?
Amber, Amber.

Old before your time
But just like a child
Oh you're high up then low down
A Luna Park ride

A kingdom for a stage
And a painter when at home
Oh my roller derby queen
Your life will never be monochrome
Amber, Amber

Don't listen to a word they say
Cause they can only see in grey
You worry you ain't done enough
But can't you see, you're light itself?
Amber, Amber.

A kingdom for a stage
And a painter when at home
Oh my roller derby queen
Your life will never be monochrome
