Song For Frida Kahlo
Tinpan Orange
You painted yourself a thousand times
As if you never got it right
You lay awake with a mirror above your bed
Your body was your cage, loneliness your friend
And they say
Life is a lion, love is despair
Your heart never stopped trying
When you cut off your hair
A monkey on your shoulder
Blood and broken bones
Your colours were bolder than the brightest rainbow
The brightest rainbow
She says
If the earth shatters and we're thrown to the sea
Nothing else matters, just home-bound carry me
And if you're unsure of where to go
Just ask somebody where is Mexico
And they say
Life is a lion, love is despair
Your heart never stopped trying
When you cut off your hair
A monkey on your shoulder
Blood and broken bones
Your colours were bolder than the brightest rainbow
The brightest rainbow
When you lived, you danced the pain
Your heart it did burn
You said
When I die, may it be sweet
May I never return
And they say
Life is a lion, love is despair
Your heart never stopped trying
When you cut off your hair
A monkey on your shoulder
Blood and broken bones
Your colours were bolder than the brightest rainbow
The brightest rainbow
