Gothenburg christmas time
My heart goes boom boom
my mind goes vroom vroom
gothenburg christmas night
all the lights that shine down the avenue
makes me feel brand new
makes me feel brand new
Old ladies smell of perfume
give your money to the ones who need it
tell the children to believe in
greater things than spiderman toys
he will not save this world
but we can do it on our own
corporate brands in every corner
but don’t you know the coffee tastes more like the 20s
in that old cafe
down by the canal
where the seniors dress up for sunday
every time someone dies
a door closes
to a world you knew
and you can never step inside again
the older you get
the more homeless you be
Gothenburg christmas time
My heart goes boom boom
my mind goes vroom vroom
gothenburg christmas night
all the lights that shine down the avenue
makes me feel brand new
makes me feel brand new

here comes the night
here comes the cold
here comes the snow
falling gently on your nose
on our way home
the winter night is filled with dangers
unseen
slipping on the ice
running from them
losing our doorkey
and if we freeze to death tonight you and me
when they find us side by side
we will look so sweet
but it will be a tragedy

These cars can ride the highways all night
These thoughts can spin forever through my mind
I don't know what it is they hope to find
So I roam these streets at night looking for a sign
And looking at the moon
Remembering your eyes shining
I would feel less alone if I knew you were looking up there too
And so I text you to try to tell you how I feel
But when you don't text me back I know exactly what is real
And I try to run just to chase the beating of my own heart
and I wrote this song to fill the space that could be ours
And tonight I'm drinking wine
It's all because of you
My brain is twined, tangled, fucked
I just don't know what to do with myself
And now I wish you were here
I wish you were my beer
I wish you were a piece of fucking paper
I could smoke you and get sick from you
And you'd be growing inside of me 'til I die
And when I said you were a part of me I wouldn't lie
And I try to run just to chase the beating of my own heart
and I wrote this song to fill the space that could be ours
The city dumps fill
The junkyards fill
Madhouses fill
Hospitals fill
Graveyards fill
Nothing else fills

Sometimes it helps me when I feel down
to think back to carboniferous times
my ancestors 300 million years ago
amphibians hiding from a tropic storm
Your world looked a lot different than mine
but it's the same ground that we still walk upon
Thank you for taking care
Although I bet you were scared!
Dm F Am Am
Ooooh oohoh ooh x2
Am G F F
Also when your first ever child is born
rich in mind but so weak and so small
for months and months you just carry them around
realizing this has been done since ancient times
connecting you to people just like you
loving their kids millions of years ago
Dm F Am Am
and oooh oooh ooh x2
Am G F F
When this civilisation has been brought down
skyscrapers and bubble gum
humans defeated by climate change
I bet life will find a way
with shuttles of steel we escape through space
on a vast jungle planet we set up our base
a dozen of people trying to survive
spending our days finding new ways to stay alive!
Dm F Am Am
And oooho ooh ooooh x4
Am G F F
At night we all take turn guarding the camp
everywhere there are noises that we can't understand
Some plants try to eat you, some shine a light
Silent creatures wander through the jungle at night

Att komma från ingenstans
är en bedrift när man tagit sig fram
men att komma från Ingenstans
leder nästan aldrig någonstans
Som en fluga som dör vid en lampa
vid en osynlig vägg av glas
vid entrén till en mataffär i mörkret
där fryser jag
Och Säveån rinner ut i Göta Älv
och Göta Älv rinner rakt ut i havet
Tältduken fladdrar i en isande vind
som för mina tankar till dig och till barnet
som vi har
men ni är
så långt borta ikväll och jag svär
för mig själv
Hur många tårar krävs det för att svämma över Göta Älv?
Polisen kommer för grannarna har ringt
hur tror ni dom hjälper oss?
Ni slipper se, ni slipper tänka
på det nåt mer
Sätt inte julskinkan i halsen
nr ni tänker på
hur dyrt det är med bostadslån
och hur Sverige inte längre har råd
Och Säveån rinner ut i Göta Älv
och Göta Älv rinner rakt ut i havet
Tältduken fladdrar i en isande vind
som för mina tankar till dig och till barnet
som vi har
men ni är
så långt borta ikväll och jag svär
för mig själv
Hur många år kan det få finnas
för att få henne att sluta minnas mig?

some nights we go there just to watch the tram disappear into the tunnel
the night brings the badgers out
shadows of black and white
You’re a bit scared but I hold your hand
through the forest to the view where we can see the whole city glow
and the new moon
shines over gothenburg city
shines on these lonely dark streets
and you hear the sound of someone elses feet

down to the river tonight
to catch that late night buzz
frogs and insects
they talk a different language but I don’t mind
noone else around
but the smell of the summertime
everybody’s missing out
and I hope someone misses me like I miss you tonight
Mosquitos and crickets
be chasing the lights
But I’m just out here
chasing the night
and I find it by the riverside

That's why there's blood on your streets Christiania

The government rules everything but it won't rule you Christiania baby

sometimes I think about you
and the world war 2 hospital
that we sat upon that night
watching fireworks explode in the sky
Saint Malo
it’s hard not to eat fish when you’re in saint malo
but I remember that pizza place
they gave me lemon sorbet with vodka on a plate
named after some colonel that died in world war 2
But everything was safe when we were in Saint Malo
Except the tide
Saint Malo
when we said goodbye to you
we went to see the beaches where they started fighting back against the nazis
and we met a guy outside a bar
he had a thousand medals and a scar
He was more drunk than he was alive
and the bartender said he wasted his life
In the tide

People begging in the streets
but you are on my mind
gothenburg christmas night
and all the lights that shine down the avenue
makes the town feel brand new
Makes it feel brand new
now there’s corporate brands in every corner
but don’t you know the coffee tastes more like the 20s
in that old cafe
down by the canal
where the seniors dress up for sunday
but you will never go there again
oh the smells were stronger when
You were 70 and I was ten
Grandma your smell of perfume
give your money to the ones who need it
tell the children to believe in
greater things than spiderman toys
he will not save this world
but we can do it on our own
every time someone dies
a door closes
to a world you knew
and you can never step inside again
the older you get
the more homeless you be
and you, I will never see you again
oh the smells were stronger when
You were 70 and I was ten
And you we will never meet again
but the smells were stronger when
you were 70 and I was ten

Southbound on this train heading down for Bavaria
Following your footsteps through this maze of coffeeshops leading to the platform
You've been doing this for years and years
facing everything that I am afraid of
but I'm getting by alright
I'm getting by alright
I miss my kids and Jessica
men jag ska läsa Harry Potter igen om en vecka
You're screaming out for change every night
at different stages, new faces and names
Endless stations and beds that you've slept in
late night conversations to keep us sane
We rest when we can, eat when it's free
and drink lots of water
whisper things about solidarity when security guards stops someone at the border
because may our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down
Sometimes no one's really listening
but you give no fucks for fame
sometimes we don't even get paid
but money's just a way to get tickets for the train
Sometimes it's so hot on stage
and you long for the thunder and rain
the next day we run through the streets of Fürth
trying not to get soaked and cold again
Drying clothes back on my backpack
wishing on the moon to get my braves back
before the stage tonight

If you wanna be good at something
you gotta start
if you wanna be good at something
just follow your heart
if you wanna be good at something
start today!
and do something even if it's not that much and it's even not that great
'cause you will learn with time
and eventually you will find out
how to be the best you that you and only you can be

When the moon is on the rise I wish that I could sing
like Ronnie Drew and John Sheahan would play the violin
we would sleep on new trains and new floors every night
new faces and new names new venues and new sights
The modern world would disappear in tunes
just like it did when I was 10 years old
Where I come from people don’t lock their doors
Where I come from we don’t care where youre from
Where I come from nights would last forever
Where I come from everyone sings together
The modern world just disappears in tunes
But I would cry every night thinking of you
My tears would fill a river deep and wide
just like the one where I played as a child
Misty meadow, fresh summer night air
always brings me back to the happy times we shared
Sleeping in tents, an adventure just to brush your teeth
searching for hedgehogs with flashlights before we get to sleep
Sand dunes, salt and the sound of the sea
is the only lullaby that I would ever need
The modern world just disappears in tunes
of Ronnie Drew, badminton and the king of stones

CAPO 2
C F? G G7
We’ve been riding down the night
we’ve been riding all around this day
We have sung among the trees we have rode our bikes into the sea
We have gone up to the highest mountains that we could find in our way
we have surrounded ourselves with nature, people, trams and graves
F G C Am
all around this place that we call home today
all around this place that we call home today home today home today
It’s been 613 days since the day in which we wrote this song
you had two more weeks to go but we put all that aside and stayed strong
the summer vas vibrating with your ukulele chords
and my guitar picking technique was a bit out of control
but we put on our hats and sang along and that day lasted forever
and though I miss you my dear friend
I can call for your spirit
I can know that you’re happy
cause you follow your heart
Our last song hasn’t been written
and we might not be neighbors
but since then we created a home in our hearts
and this wasn’t our last tour
our last adventure
our last recording or our last video call
and though I miss you my dear friend
I can call for your spirit
I can know that you’re happy
cause you follow your heart

When you called about the x-ray, I got scared
and when you called about the surgery
how could I be prepared
for you not to be around anymore?
There's so much to do, working to pay rent
Get food on the table, days just getting spent
But when I rode that bus to you in the hospital
I felt a calm
Because there's nothing more important than riding that bus to you
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels right
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels right
Nazis calls my relatives to threaten me and shut my mouth
and this of course makes me scared
but I'm as privileged as I'm white
and my fear is nothing compared
to the families fleeing in boats on the mediterranean
right now and you're shooting at them right now
So I say thanks to the nazis that calls me
for reminding me why I hate
your worldview and your fears and your inhumanity
and your disrespect for debate
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great

I take my wishes to the beach
make small boats from bark and leaves
put some love in one and each
and they set sail on troubled seas
they say tiny boats like that
will just descend into the dark ocean floor
they can never come back
G A D Bm
but that’s the thing with wishes
they don’t work if your mind's not set
G A
but reality will break if you just shake shake it like you do
One day not knowing what to do
you will stumble upon
A dirty piece of bark and leaves
and recognize where it is from
And you will put it in your pocket
and never let it go
and wherever you find yourself
You will let your wishes grow
G A D Bm
’cause that’s the thing with wishes
they don’t work if your mind's not set
G A
but reality will break if you just shake shake it like you do

In that little house by the sea
You and me will be together, forever and always happy
When life is crappy you and me can flee
to that house by the sea and that little library
and we will walk the beach
searching for debris
we can make a chair out of whatever we please
in that house by the sea
we will find peace
and we will have rooms for friends and family
I will have room for boardgames in the little tower
we will rent out rooms with breakfast
you can even take a shower
and a cellar for the pickles and dandelion wine
You can call me Tickles, I will call you Clementine
In that little house by the sea
It will be windy
I like the sound of the wind when it hits the chimney
Your hat fell in the water
when you had breakfast on the pier
but hats are not worth the risk and so it disappeared
You're cute without that hat
and now we can tell the story
of how you lost your hat, but we'll tell it with more glory
and if I can be the hero of your little tale
You can be the captain when we set sail
In that little house by the sea
You and me will be together, forever and always happy
When life is crappy you and me can flee
to that house by the sea and that little library

well in my heart I'm already leaving now
and in my mind I left the modern world behind
the city lights are too bright to see the stars
and these city hearts too stressed to set a spark
D E A A x4
But this spark of mine I'm gonna let it shine
in this concrete graveyard they call a town
may our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down!
A D A E, A D E A
Growing up we needn't even lock the door
we just ran through the summernights never to be bored
take a dive into the river, building huts in the woods
and these neighborhood parties lasted all night through
D E A A x4
Yea we rode our bikes through the twilight
and the night belonged to us, we belong to the night
we were happy, we were free
we never wanted things to be differently
A D A E, A D E A
But growing up you're gonna need a place to stay
and you know that you gotta make every month pay
A lot of different people makes this suburb pretty great
but everyone's too fucking tired to make something out of it
D E A A x4
This city brings people to their knees
the city was made for banks, malls and money
so may our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down
D E A A
Yea I know that this economy doesn't grow for you and me
and I know that we've been living on a lot of love lately
But I also know we can turn those malls into community centers
and the banks into common property
D E A A x8
And we can plant trees in those streets
tear down the parking lots and plant beans
burn the cars, ride our bikes
and dance around a campfire every night
And this spark of mine I'm gonna let it shine!
in this concrete graveyard they call a town
May our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down

Well I can’t decide if God is still alive
or if everything’s just meaningless and I should be glad to be right
either way I am losing this silly war I fly
Will I burn in hell forever or forever rot and die?
Chilly winds outside blow snowflakes in my eyes
this soar throat makes me think only the thickest will survive
So I will fill my apartment with sugar and toilet paper
with empty grocery store shelfs we will fight our own creator
I can’t decide if God is still alive
or if everything’s just meaningless and I should be glad to be right
either way I am losing this pathetic war I fly
Will I burn in hell forever or forever rot and die?
Everyone around me seems to be affected
the last time I was this scared - Trump got elected
If we don’t die from this disease we’ll die from our own greed
Keep your friends close, especially if you need
Mars bars
Jelly beans
we will survive on gumball machines
Forget climate change now that the stock markets down
I will paint my face with lipstick until I look like a clown
I can’t decide if God is still alive
or if everything’s just meaningless and I should be glad to be right
either way I am losing this pointless war I fly
Will I burn in hell forever or forever rot and die?
I can’t decide if God is still alive
or if everything’s just meaningless and I should be glad to be right
either way I am losing this pathetic war I fly
Will I burn in hell forever or forever rot and die?

There’s not as much time to life as I’d like to believe
set the birds free
Noone should have to be spending their life in a cage or a chain
as someones property, make sure those chickens gets to fly free
up in the sky somewhere where they always longed to be
And there’s not as much rainforest left as you’d might believe
you enjoy your bloody steak but is it worth the deal?
We’re cutting down the forests to breed cows
that’s insane! Stop breeding cows
And I’d like to spend eternity, waking up in a tent and breathe
the fresh warm air of the summer night
was everything I ever needed to feel alright
and way over yonder I hear wild thunder rolling in
and it makes me a little bit nervous but also excited
and when the rain comes crashing I just wanna get out there and a dance
a dance a dance dance dance dance
papappapapa
Set the chickens free so they can get out there and dance paappapappaa
set the cows free today, so they can get out there and dance papappapappapa
set the test monkeys free so they can get out there and dance papappapa
set yourself free today so you can get out there and dance pappapapa

Man kan inte räkna dem alla
sägner och sånt man hör
det sägs att en stjärna ska falla
var gång en människa dör
En luffare är jag, vad mera?
Jag kunde ju vara en präst
Jag kunde ju vara en brukspatron
en bonde eller en häst
Lyhörd i nätternas kyla och vindarnas frusna musik
Hundarna hörde jag yla som hundar yla för lik
Dom pratar om mig i huset
att jag varken ser eller hör
men vinden den hör jag och suset
i almen därutanför
En fågel ser jag som irrar
långt bortom hank och stör
Jag sitter och stirrar och stirrar
och ingenting kommer mig för
Änkorna hörde jag skrika och barnen snyfta för bröd
Stjärnorna kvitta det lika om någon är född eller död
Jag har klättrat på önskningens stege
jag har gått ett par fjät så jag vet
att den stegen är hög som en himmel
och allt är fåfänglighet
Man kan inte räkna dem alla
sägner och sånt man hör
det sägs att en stjärna ska falla
var gång en människa dör

They don't care that we are friends
They don't care about our basket ball games
They don't care about your dreams or mine
They don't care about Palestine
They don't know how hard you worked these 4 years
paying taxes, getting friends and built your life here
they don't care that you will be gone now
although you belong here now
F G Am Am
F G C
As long as their protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won't affect their own lives
They're closing borders again now
it's too expensive to save lives
So you will be getting paid now
for letting people die?
I wish they could have seen your face
reading that paper in your hallway
and I wish I didn't have to
But as long as their protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won't affect their own lives
You texted me 2 nights later
"I'm on a bus and I hope I see you later,
I've been drinking 20 red bulls to stay sharp
in case there's a border control"
I hope the stars shine bright
wherever you are tonight
The police can chase somebody else now
but it's you I'll be thinking about
But as long as their protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won't affect their own lives

A crocodile song

C G Am F
We are one with the universe
when we dive into the pool
we’re just dust from exploding stars
but I put on my dancing shoes
and head downtown to meet strangers
to feel the dangers of the night
I head downtown to meet strangers
to feel the dangers of the night
Warm vibes slow beats
lure me down to the ocean
and a bar full of cats
I see you dancing in orange
Hey I haven’t seen you here before
But I danced to this song
I can’t decide if it’s happy or sad
But I feel like it belongs
in those backstreets behind the ocean
when the tourists are gone
there’s a mountain full of thistles
and it wakes up to this song
it’s a crocodile song
it’s a warning
someone comes here every winter
to write a book and go off grid
the beach is empty around midnight
we said not to go here but we did
and we lay down watching stars rise
in our kingdom, island time
one day the crocodile is gonna wake up
and that’s the end of you and I
we are one with the universe
when we dive into the pool
we’re just dust from exploding stars
but dust don’t talk like we do
quiet warm night
beats from a distant bar
bet they have coffee in the morning
and I will play my guitar

D G D G D G D A?
Since I jumped that wall to my school yard
always felt life shouldn’t be so hard
could have focused and learnt some karate
to fight my bullies but instead I had to play smart
Stage lights in my face now I’m shaking
but always felt fear is cooler than faking
should have focused and learnt some guitar techniques
Instead I try to my hardest just to be me
play the same chords we played in your house
but I sing about how I’m missing you now
sneaking into gardens to filch apples
or tried to smoke nutmeg just to see what happens
Sometimes I can’t come up with words for a song
and I need an adventure for my brain to run
I Take a walk with Alex in the hood
and pretty soon we have some problems to run from
G A D Bm
G A ...D
Sometimes life tears you down
hard work eats you up
you try to protect yourself with sleep and TV
but you just end up unhappy
You need a break, you need reality to shake
Since I jumped that wall to my school yard
I never cared for trying too hard
Never bothered by work or hierarchy
bosses or teachers or modern society
Sometimes we take the car down the coast
set up our tent by a lake or the woods
the kids collect branches to build a big fire
to scare off the gorgons make the dark a bit lighter
and before we get to sleep in our sleeping bags
we go hunting for hedgehogs with flashlights
I will them this is what I did with my dad
hope you get the same night feeling I had
Cause ever since I jumped that wall to my school yard
I’ve been feeling like a cave man in a too hard
society I just wanna run from
into the forest to the beat of my tribe drums
Sometimes life tears you down
hard work eats you up
You hear the wild wolves howl from the mountain top
it’s time for that stone age break, you need reality to shake
Sometimes life tears you down
hard work eats you up
but they didn’t build this town for you
they built it for the banks, pollution, profits, shopping centers and hip coffeeshops

Plagues may come

Earthquakes are gonna shake our grounds
but let's have dark times
you and I
Let’s have dark times
I need to turn off the alarm in my head now
Throw my phone into a hole
and never get a new one
go where police helicopters never gone before
go where the wild rivers roar
go where wild boars stares up to the sky for the comfort of stars
see them shine in your eyes now
the lights from your screen
but I remember your thighs now
in a hotel room in Greece
playing cards on the balcony
they don’t show your smile riding that red bike
in the movies
but they should
the night the dog chased us down
and it almost killed us
we were shit scared in the dark
we never returned those bikes right
they didn’t have lights on the road from Zakinthos to Kalamaki
but I got a feeling they have it now
Fancy hotels where you can watch the world die from a safe distance
but I don’t want no safe distance from the dangers
Let’s have dark times
I need rain and the thunder
I need to get lost
and I need to wonder
about things I know nothing about
There's so many things I know nothing about

One day my body will fail me
and I'm gonna ride alone on the bus
I'll have to ask strangers for what day it is
I'm gonna get pissed just because
You're screaming at me
well I'm screaming at you
I'm throwing this glass
I see blood on the pavement
You deserve to hold hands with Jesus
And on the day that he comes down I'm gonna hold hands with Jesus
My brain will be full of holes on that day
I'm gonna trip in the escalator
I'm gonna pee from a hose on that day
The sun will set one last time that day on this changing climate
I'm gonna be a pirate of God
Gonna ride my horse into the valley
Gonna set it all on fire
all the clocks will ring and the book will bring
an end to this Lovecraft novel we all live in
on that beautiful day

When you're being born
don't be born poor
or you will die poor too
you will work hard all your life
work until you die
and everyone is gonna step all over you
and you can't go anywhere 'cause it's too far
and you can't drive there 'cause you don't have a car
and you can't get a car 'cause you don't have a job
and you can't get a job 'cause you don't have a car
so the next time you're being born
you should be born rich
and everything in this world will make more sense

My trip to Iceland

Good morning Iceland
You look like Interstellar
Your sun shone so bright at 5 in the morning
I've never seen a sun shine like that
And the wind whipped the rain on the ice and the snow
in the black landscape at 5 in the morning
I've never seen the wind whip like that
As my bus rolled into Reykjavik
Spent the night in a hot dog stand in Copenhagen Airport
It wasn't very comfortable
My plane seemed like a time machine
all red up in the sky
Hot springs burst into the air
boiling water and smoke from the ground
Ice and fire and that brimstone smell from the shower
made you seem like hell
But it's a hell that I liked
But it's a hell that I liked
Earthquake shake the ground
down by the river where they used to drown witches
Nothing's really growing here and you can't light a smoke
because the moss can explode
I see monsters in the night, I see men
I see very far into the distance
I ate marmalade and french toast
at my hotel that morning
Up the hill from the coast

I've been waiting my whole for this one night
this one night on the dance floor
I've been waiting my whole life for this one night
sweeping the dance floor
You used to dance like King Louis
Served me drinks by the glass washer machine
Soccer nights was good for your wallet
Jazz nights for your dreams
F G
Catch a cab home in the morning if the tip was good
F
But I always walked for the tram
G
To save the little I got from the man
Am G F F
You had that cold look
you stood by the bar
smoking that thing
distant, yet here, yet far
You wanted them to struggle, didn't you?
we talked about art
G F
and you said No one plays the jazz like Sidney Bechet
No one plays the jazz like Sidney Bechet
Am G F F
I've been waiting my whole for this one night
sweeping the dance floor
I've been waiting my whole life for this one night
this one night on the dance floor

Now I’m just a little boy from the country side and I
Feel just a little bit oh YO OH EY!
When I go into town saturday night
Go into town saturday night
Cause I’m just wearing my old brother’s pair of boots and I
Feel just a little bit oh YO OH EY!
When the rain slips into my heel crack
Water slips into my heel crack
oooooh neon lights keep changing
Neon lights keep changing
But my heart keeps aching for someone
Someone who moves their body too
And I - I know that I’m not wearing the latest fashion
but this town aint no fashion show
this weekends giving me the chance to prove
prove myself to you ooooh
Cause I, I feel like it is time to stop being so shy and I
Feel just a little bit oh YO OH EY!
When the rain starts to squeeze out of my steps
and my heart beating so fast in my chest
Water drops are jumping everywhere, sweat is gonna drip from my hair
Neon lights keep changing
But my heart keeps aching for someone
Someone who moves their body too

When the rain pours on our tent

In the wee wee midnight hours
G
but every whisper is meant
D
And the frogs have formed a choir
G C D
You jump in without a bathing suit
G C D
and you come up freezing cold
And the flashlight battery's out
but we make up silly stories
we draw creatures in the sand and hope they can't be real
but they're waiting somewhere out there
for that hungry feeling
Wildfires paint these skies
the plague has reached the city
the river roars loud
like horses running free
There's nothing but the footprints left
when the bulldozers reach our field

Dm Em Am F ????? Nah
What's cooking in the forest?
Smoke's rising from that little hut
down by the riverside where we used to swim in the summers
What's cooking in the forest?
The fields where the horses used to run
now they're all burned black from the fires
Forest spirits wonder lost
everyone who comes here will be possessed
on way or another
that's when I tape feathers to my chest
This band of horses are gonna ride into the night
gonna use them as a trampoline and head for the sky

No trespassing
01:03

when the streets comes to an end it goes gravel
when the sign says stop we don’t stop
until the forest surrounds us with darkness
google maps get no coverage out here because
the sun has set and we’re all scared
we’re all lost
and we crack open our first beer
we gather branches for the fire
nobody will find us out here
we gather courage in our hearts
to swim the lake in the pitch blackness
there’s a sign that said no trespassing
but we read it from the wrong side
naked and happy we are nobodys hippies tonight
