He looks all right on the outside
But inside is such a mess
He hides the knives between his thighs
And the folds of his velvet dress
An earthquake under his eyelids
Sirens between his ears
His grin is so brightly polished
So blinding, it chases away his fears

Oh domino, little white dots on jet black tiles - oh domino
Oh domino, little white lies and stark denial - oh domino
Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino!

He’s locked inside a story
With a double-barrelled name
Bought with misdemeanours
For someone else’s fame
You’ll never see him naked
You’ll never hear him lie
For every waking moment
He has an alibi

Oh domino, little white dots on jet black tiles - oh domino
Oh domino, little white lies and stark denial - oh domino

He’s got longing on his left side
And riddles on his right
The days drag on until he finds
The stillness of night, he says
‘Gimme a golden parachute
Gimme me a safety latch
I’ve got some careful laid out plans
That I intend to hatch’

Oh domino, little white dots on jet black tiles - oh domino
Oh domino, little white lies and stark denial - oh domino
Oh domino, little white dots on jet black tiles - oh domino
Oh domino, little white lies and stark denial - oh domino
Domino! Domino! Domino! Domino!
