lyrics

Early morning
The birds are now up
The sun it now shines
For you
What a view

You start the day
By singing a song
No one ever had sung
Before
It's always new

With you...

You come to me
With a cup of black tea
And you strip as the sea
Rejoices
Through the window
That waterfalls light

And you ask me
As you're dancing
Why do birds
Sing so proud?
Do you think that they know
They're alive?

And I answer you
Of course they do
And they sing
For the same reason
As I
Those bastards are singing
For you

So I'll shoot them bastards with a gun
And you say
You won't shoot anyone
And you're right this time

I'll strangle them bastards
I'll learn how to fly
You say no you will not
First you learn how to die
And you jump to my lap
And we make love
By the window the birds and the sea
