The air smells so sweet
Nowadays it hardly rains on me
I mostly sing and can't complain but
I don't need I don't need your thunder to know that
It still rains here

These last three now and later
Sticking to my teeth
Remind me to stay young and green and
I don't need don't need your lectures
On sugar and amount of duration

True life is mostly tragic
But you don't know how good you have it
When you're older your will grasp
It you just don't know how good you have it

I used to dream of rats and snakes
And death and other things
But now I take a breath before I sleep
I don't need don't need a nightmare
To know that they still live here

True life is mostly tragic
But you don't know how good you have it
When you're older your will grasp
It you dont know how good you have it
