Don't worry, come closer.
Don't cry.
Ahh don't cry.
Ahh don't cry.
Ahh

Get moving or I'll kick your ass(background)

Ba-da ba-da ba ba-da,
Ba-da ba da

Ooohh I watch you comb your hair in different light.
You change the chair and seem to think that's alright.
I understand,
You need a change.
When you make that change,
Don't look to see
I'm alright.

Now that I look at you in different light

Change the chair
A violet unicorn to me that's alright

I understand,
You need a change

The world will elevate you. The world will elevate you.
And when you make that change the world will elevate you

And if I told you then that I could cry,
Would you take my tears and wash the sun rise? 
A man afraid has no shame

So when you take those tears don't look to see I'm alright
Look to see I'm alright

When you take those tears don't look to see I'm alright
Look to see I'm alright

How can I tell you?
How can I explain?

I I
I want your love, I need a change

In me.

Ba-da ba-da ba, ba-da
Ba-da ba da

Why should they come?
They were supposed to die back there.
But I didn't, for the second time.
Don't worry they'll come,
They know.
Do what?
That I'm not like anyone else?

Suddenly, 
You and I will wait
In your dreams.

Suddenly, 
You and I will wait
In your dreams
Tonight night
We'll finally change
You and I will wait 
And maybe time will tell

All over
All over 
All over 
All over
All over 

You and I will need a
You and I

You and I will need a
You and I

You and I will need a better place.
To start all over again

Oh babe,
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

Will be their brighter day?
Be their brighter day-heyday-hey

All over
All over
All over
We'll finally change 
With a lesson
With a lesson 
Oh and oh no.

Why do they do that?
Hahahaha
Why do you want to do that? no-one else ever has.

Because no one else ever has.

You've got no fear of communists when they're finished(?)
They have only killed him for questioning.
Don't be too fond of Christians.
Never

Come out.
No, I want in.
I'll speak to her, leave her.

I've got to go to the hospital.
The guy has taken me in.
Give it to me
Please let me quit
Oh go on
Just don't leave me here.

Ah whether he thinks this might be helpful.
Can you go back when he was evaluated?
Charlie was evaluated in July
His heart valve was causing him a problem.
I know, that's why I don't understand it
Well, if one of them thinks that it says symbiosis

Loving Chile there's,
Always something new
Always something new
Always something new
Always something
Always something

Darling yeah there's something
Always something always something

Soaking wet

Yeah
