Isn’t it nice to be young? Nowhere to stay and always on the run Isn’t it nice not to know What will happen, where your path my go? I enjoy it so much, I can barely hide I enjoy it so much, let’s take a ride On my magic spoon, we’ll fly to the moon Hold on to my back, we’ll be there soon I planted a tree for each of my dreams The black side of the moon is rather green Dreams dissolve into dust Just the day they come true So I hold out in lust And have some beer with you I’m refusing to grow up, try to make me do Grow up up up up up up up And down down down goes all I know

This day is black and grey The sun is shining, never mind The flowers you have found me on the way are way to nice The insurence society is not prepared for you and me A sick and sad-faced generation studying philosophy and arts Why does this feel tragic and how did you fall apart this time? How did you fall apart this time, why would you fall apart this time? How did you get to slow your mind before it went to far? The city is an awful crowded place But there are ways not to be here You take the bus, you take the train And yet the monsters will remain See this society is not prepared for you and me A sick and sad-faced generation studying philosophy and arts

He’s been sitting on this tree forever And he sort of hopes the wheather’s gonna stay As misty as it is And some bees fly by and wonder why It took him so long to make some conversation time It takes a day or even two To find Winnie The Pooh inside of you Trying may be good, but ain’t succeeding? All the time he has been pleading for the sun To float into his lungs

Hello, Hello 02:13
You like me, yes I know you do and you Would like to kiss me and I know You miss me when I go Hello, hello you look so gorgeuos, what about a cup of tea Hello, hello you talk so tender, come and spend the night with me Let us sit and talk about the things we’d like to write on walls But never do because we are too lame Let us go and get some wine and then get really drunk and maybe smoke although that’s silly and a shame When will the day come when you eat me Dont you know I’m longing for your pants To lay on the floor of my bedroom while we Have little bed room dance

Ok Please 03:08
It’s been a while and I feel fine Is that ok, please? I guess I could care less, as well as more See, I don’t feel like going for The pain you might cause me If I gave you again power Is power the word that I need? You’re so sweet, you never speak in categories like these So tell me how you think this works You text me everytime you feel? Are you for real? Did you forget who cut the line May I remind you who it was?

March 29 03:22
And you say it’s alright, there’s no need to be afraid But I am, but I am, but I am And you try to ease my mind Which a rhyme you have read on a pad calender March 29 And you say that it’s best to let go of what you love But I can’t And who can by the way, who can easily say I don’t mind if you leave, though I’d love you to stay

Cages 03:03
Trapped in cages that they call our bodies I’m falling in love with the idea of fading away I’m far too massive and my flesh disgusts me Perhaps it’s best to disappear oh take me away I need to be less and I need to let loose I need to spread sex whereever I cruise Trapped in bodies that are judged by pictures of anorexic girls for Vogue, I’m fading away I don’t deserve not to diet, nor to bitch or to riot, I’m supposed to be great and up to date Otherwise I’m gonna be replaced by these images that chased me into this cage

Once upon a time in a summer’s night There were two fools sharing excuses for not Being faithful and true Some more nights went by and they had a try Being truely uncommitted to each other And the world seemed kind of new Do do do do do do do do do… If there’s anyone I want to know the mess that I am it’s you Once upon a time in a winter’s night There were two fools sharing the promise to be faithful and true Some more nights went by and they had a try being Truely well committed to each other And the world seemed kind of new Do do do do do do do do do… If there’s anyone I want to know the best that I am it’s you Once upon a time in a summer’s night There were two fools on the phone Feeling extremely alone

Not The Fun 04:27
Ev’ryone I talk to tries to find New ways to commit without being hit My heart was broken I can’t focus on the books I’ve got to read Make this pain disappear, make this bleeding stop This is not the fun they told me it would be I don’t know what I need cause I want so much I want bodies and closure, I want your touch I want safety and pure, honest tenderness I want you to want me, I don’t want nothing less

Ellen Page 03:01
Evrybody’s sort of nervous though we know we shouldn’t be I’m drinking yogi tea, telling me to slow it down I tend to be short-tempered just in cases when I shouldn’t be I’m drinking yogi tea, telling me to slow it down There is no way to peace cause peace itself’s the way Does anybody have something less helpfull to say? But Ellen Page made my day Making a difference today It seems to me the hardest part is learing when to let it be I’m drinking yogi tea, telling me to slow it down If we all tried to be a bit more kind I guess that might be nice If ev’rybody tried to be a little bit more kind that might be nice

It takes some courage to cast off and I’m afraid, my Dear It takes some courage to cast off, ain’t that profound? It takes some courage to cast off and I can barely get my feet to touch the ground Now I sit here with my nervousness and all the little ghosts a sailor knows It takes some courage to cast off that I will grow, my Dear It takes some courage to cast off, ain’t that profound? And I can barely get my feet, oh oh, to stay in touch with me and on the ground

It was a morning like any other morning I looked into the mirror, it said„Damn Queen, you look good.“ I said „Thank you, any news?“ It said „Well, indeed, there’s a new girl in town.. She supposed to be very very pretty quite nice And even pretty witty Her hair so dark, her skin so light They’re calling her Snow White.“ Mirror mirror go to hell Fuck yourself and fuck your spell I am better off without the things you tell I’m so fed up with being compared and comparing myself to the rest I’m so very sick of figuring out who’s the fairest, the smartest, the best I’ll burn her hair, scratch out her eyes Until she cries no more That dirty little whore is stealing what was mine I bet she’s feeling fine Why is it always such a fight, is it always such a fight, is it always such a fight? What are we fighting for and why, are we fighting for an why, are we fighting for and why? I have not fully figuered this out, but I doubt it’s a very healthy game to play
