there's gossip about mistakes and betrayal by friends my memory's completely full of such things but I hope I forget everything eventually 100 years is nothing to me 100 years is nothing and if I could fly I stayed here I am old and sit and forget mutter and condemn all my old mistakes I boast about now
all the plants were still there with their roots in the ground despite us going past and all the girls were still there with their feet on the ground despite us going past all the hips swung nicely when summer began early although it was forbidden we were dumbstruck with surprise we were dumbstruck with surprise all the sounds are still there like gnomes out in the forest despite us choosing other ones and the earth will go on in its path round the sun despite us keeping on we're dumbstruck with surprise (x4)

everything hurts; so unreachable a little tailwind; pretty unbeatable joy so hard to contact gets easy you sleep when everything goes slowly it would be easy for me to say I don't find my way home but I do; I think up there only good thoughts fly here on the ground they shrink and hide themselves Rocket Sweden: this month's place a slap on the cheek for the guy that's too nice it would be easy for me to say I don't find my way home but I do; I think it would be easy for me to say I don't like you but I do; I think (continue refrain)
