[Chorus 1]
You are a horror, you are a horror
You are the same, same, same horoscope as me, yeah
You're like a zebra (Zebra), even a tea-bra (Tea-bra)
You're like a zebra and a tea-bra or a Libra like me, yeah

[Post-Chorus 1]
I hoped you were a Gemini
But I thought, well I'll give him a try
I never fell in love with other Libras
They were too flashy and be just like zebras
They reminded me of me (They were just like me!)
Caught by the buffaloes feasted on for all to see

[Verse]
The weighing scales, they broke my back
That's what imbalanced me
I fell in love but I didn't look back
To see if he was looking back at me
Oh, I'm a horror and I'm so nervous, you have seen
That I'm a horror, no, you're not horrible like me, oh

[Chorus 2]
You are a horror, you are a horror
Why did you have to be the same horoscope as me? Yeah
You know I'll make you, you know I'll break you
I know you can't cope with my instability, yeah

[Post-Chorus 2]
Well I hoped you were a Gemini (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
But I thought, well I'll give him a try, try
I never fell in love with other Libras
They were too flashy and be just like zebras
They reminded me of me (Me, me, me, me-me-me-me-me, me, me)
Caught by the buffaloes feasted on for all to see, do you see?

[Verse]
The weighing scales they broke my back
That's what imbalanced me
I fell in love but I didn't look back
To see if he was looking back at me
Oh you're a horror are you're so nervous, I have seen
That you're a horror, you're just as horrible as me

[Verse]
The weighing scales they broke my back
That's what imbalanced me
I fell in love but I didn't look back
To see if he was looking back at me

[Outro]
(That's funny!)

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
