the bee in the bottle is breaking his head

i caught him today i'm going to keep him 'til he's dead

no one here is watching his life

the sting is in the dying

baby bee is looking at me

there's no air in the jar and he just can't breathe

he's got no strength now to stand on his feet

the sting is in the dying



this is all i ever needed and it's my line

this is all i ever needed and it's my line

to the actor in the corner this is my line



nairobi told me and i kept it in my head

nairobi called me and i left here

in the dead of the night

we have reason to believe

you've caught our only majesty

we would like for you to set him free

and fly away



this is all i ever needed and it's my line

this is all i ever needed and it's my line

to the actor in the corner this is my line



the bee in the bottle is shaking his head

i'm sorry for the times you thought i was dead

i've got no time now for suffering defeat

the sting is in the dying



we could all see in but he couldn't see out

the bottle is in danger he's filling it with doubt

it's only time before i make you mine

the sting is in the dying



this is all i ever needed and it's my line

this is all i ever needed and it's my line

to the actor in the corner this is my line
