lyrics
a. air
woke up earlier than i ever would
kissed the cats goodbye
smelled and said you like my scent
working all the time
got gold inside my pocket, living a lie
all the while
breaking habits without the stopping
kick my bucket
i'll be there, just keep up the knocking
i'll be there, yeah
-----------------------------------
b. sea
my body broke
and it turned all into rainfall
so what did you expect?
a favor left?
I'm selfless when you are rotten
and you're a liar
you are rotten and you're a liar
land...
-----------------------------------
c. land
open up, young soldier boy.
got patches and guns, but can you tell me what they've done?
I'm kinda far myself from home
and i also miss a girl there, so
(breathe)
well, i can finally breathe the air
(god damn)
and it's beautiful, but god damn!
(soft hair)
I can almost feel her soft hair
(love)
I'll kiss her when I'm finally there.
(friendly fire)
so when you get the chance to put your gun down,
(what now?)
will you ask yourself "what now?"?
(love)
I say there's love in every city here,
(who won the war?)
and they're all smiling in your hometown
(who?)
i want to see you smile for me right now!
it can break your bones
when you least expect
with all your friends all fast asleep in bed
the hard times
call for hard drinks, right?
well you got yours
and i got mine
cheers
