Not Afraid
Kinky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say dreams enter from the feet
So they recommend bare feet to sleep
If you wants Morpheus with you

They say the trees wear their clothes backwards
In the summer they wear leaf coats
And in the winter they take them off
I'm not afraid of the world, I'm not afraid to roller coster

They say comets are like animals with large and bright tails
And they gallop through the night
They say rugs are just floors with over grown hair
And the broom is the comb, the vacuum is the blow dryer

I sleep and dream well, bare feet during night
I'm a good rider of the comets light but even




Though I believe
I'm a tree I can't stand outside naked with the breeze
