[Chorus]
Your sting red-full-stops my skin
Dotted, scratch, scratch, now I'm bleeding
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings

[Interlude]
"Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin."

[Verse]
There's bears in the wood and they're out to get me
And I'm safe from harm if I stay in this chalet
And hold me tight and I'll sink in
I'm absorbed in your thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't know
You...
But you don't know
You...

[Chorus]
Your sting red-full-stops my skin
Dotted, scratch, scratch, now I'm bleeding
Legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings

[Outro]
For you...
For you...

​​alt-J

alt-J is an English indie rock band that consists of vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman, keyboardist and bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton and drummer Thom Green. Gwil Sainsbury was the band’s bassist before leaving the band in early 2014.

Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.

∆’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced alt-J, the delta sign is inserted when you press alt and J on a Mac keyboard.
