music by Krater, voice: Kim Warsen, lyrics: Lilli Hartmann

I did not want
to hang from a tree
so I ate the world
before it ate me

down the river
down the hill
down the drain it went
and me

all that time with
a guitar in my hand

the water kept rising
up to my neck
when all of a sudden
I heard a big crack

the next thing I
can’t remember no more
but when I woke up
I was safe ashore

my guitar was gone
but instead I find
this great big rock
and a turning mind

looking for answers
and clues that could tell
why life is sad
and living hell

mmmmh
mmmmh
mmmmh
mmmmh

I still don’t know why
but know it don’t matter
because today I feel much better

roll roll rock ’n roll
rock n’ rock n’ roll
rock n’ rock n’ roll
rock rock

and the sun it shines through my legs for all
