Babycrutch
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on now you got to get affected
Noone told you not to shake your hips
Why do you think we all have been directed?
You´re telling things but you don´t move your lips

Now you see the world is tumbling down to earth today
And all you want is something else to throw away
You better stop to criticize the nation
Nothing else will help to shake the tree
You´re flying high! you´re flying high!
You cannot wait to find a new direction
What you want is this and that for free

Close your eyes and fall asleep
In your dreams your life is sweet
And you see the world is tumbling down to earth today
And all you want is something else to throw away

You´re looking for another exit
You´re breathing hard while you´re crawling on your knees
Somehow you will get the golden access
Go away! go away!

Close your eyes and fall asleep
In your dreams your life is sweet




And you see the world is tumbling down to earth today
And all you want is something else to throw away.
