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
