When I grow up, I want to be a forester
 Run through the moss on high heels
 That’s what I’ll do, throwing out boomerang
 Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
 Crab claws and bottles of rum
 That’s what i’ll have staring at the seashell
 Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul in what I do
 Last night I drew a funny man
 with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
 It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
 From someone who wants to be loved by you

I’m very good with plants
 When my friends are away
 they let me keep the soil moist
 On the seventh day I rest
 for a minute or two
 then back on my feet and cry for you oooh oh

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
 Too much time spent on nothing
 waiting for a moment to arise
 The face in the ceiling and arms too long
 I wait for him to catch me

music

Waiting for you to embrace me
