Lying in the grass


I am lying in the grass,

I can´t move, ´cause I´m empty of gas.

I haven´t slept, haven´t eaten,

used to be strong but now I´m so weak.


Can´t get up, I can´t get up,

I don´t want to get up, I wanna lay here.

Someday I´ll get up but that´s another day,

and now it´s today and now I say:


Gonna fly in the sky, fly like a bird.

I´ll be the emperor of the earth, the king of the world.

But that´s tomorrow, that´s another day.

I got no sorrow, now I only lay here in the grass.


Now I don´t need no fuel.

Now I don´t need to rule.

I don´t need no gas,

just want to lay here in the grass.
