Laying on the grass my heart it flares like fire
The way you slap my face just fills me with desire
You play hard to get
'Cause you're teacher's pet
But when the boats have gone
We'll take a tumble excuse for a fumble
Shocked me too the things we used to do on grass
If you fancy we can buy an ice-cream cone
Your mate has gone She didn't want to be alone
I will pounce on you
Just us and the Cuckoos
You are helpless now
Over and over we flatten the clover
Shocked me too the things we used to do on grass
It would shock you too the things we used to do on grass
Grass, grass.

I was smokin' on weed
Just like my father's
My knees are trying to reach you
At your mother's
My nose was screaming that you smelled
Like a lover
But my hands had to treat you
Like a brother
We do the dance upon the plain
And I shake your little shoulders
Push you down into the grain
And rub our noses in the night,
We do, we do.
Well I've been into the plants and simple treasures
And I sew patches on pants and I get pleasure
I don't make particular plans
'Cause they don't matter
When you keep on foolin' in bed
With my sleepin' patterns
And we dance upon the plains
And I shake your little shoulders
Push you down into the grain
And rub our noses in the night,
We do, we do.
What's with all the changin' since the time I was aware?
It's like the apple-eatin' people that we once were aren't there.
Did they empty out their pockets and debase their younger faces?
And you must be sure you're happy when you leave your summer places
Pretty little femur sittin' in my cherry dreamboat
I'd be sad if you're rejected from my hipbone or my knee
If I sailed away from continents and touched my lover's hair then
You'd be very happy if I touched her there
Pretty little femur sittin' in my cherry dreamboat
I'd be sad if you're rejected from my hipbone or my knee
If I sailed away from continents and touched my lover's hair then
You'd be very happy if I touched her there
I was very nervous how I felt in there
I was very cautious when you said "hey there"
Would you like to see me? Often
Though you don't need to see me Often
Because I'd like to see you, often!
Though I don't need to see you, often!
We do the dance upon the plain
And I shake your little shoulders
Push you down into the grain
And rub our noses in the night,

As silver tears they weave and lace,
Sad patterns upon her face,
She waits for you.
So low below a laser sun,
Through velvet fields she runs,
Reaching for you.
And so you bleed now,
Your hand holds the knife
That is tearing your life apart.
Why don't you leave now,
The city's too heavy
And your dreams they melt in the sun.
On mellow blue, birds curve and glide.
Through shadows of grief she slides,
She waits for you.
There on a hill before the dawn,
In silence a promise torn,
She turns from you.
And so you bleed now ...
As silver tears, they weave and lace,
She waits for you.
So low below a laser sun,
Reaching for you.
On mellow blue birds curve and glide.
She waits for you.
There on a hill before the dawn,

Blue eyes when the wind was done
You were lying like a soldier
In the grass, in the grass,
Like the war was over
Blue eyes when you took a breath
It was heavy on my shoulder
Clap your hands, clap your hands
It looks like the worst is over
Blue eyes when the wind was here
You were blown just like a feather
In the trees, in the trees
You were caught inside forever
Blue eyes when you hold your breath
I can breath in deeper
Clap your hands, clap your hands
The grass doesn't get no greener
Blue eyes when the wind was done,
You were carried on my shoulder
Praise the land, praise the land
And all of its placeholders

Every time you kiss my lips,
I feel them quiver (quiver)
Ooh, and every time you hold me in your arms,
I seem to shiver (shiver)
There's nothing to be afraid of
It's flesh and blood that we're made of
Trust in me, baby
Baby, won't you trust in me?
And the grass will sing for you
The sky will turn a brand new shade of blue for you
And in your heart, you feel a glow
That's when you'll know
My love for you
(The grass will sing for you, my love)
Every time you whisper words of love,
I start crying
Well, are those tears of joy?
Should I really think that you're lying?
I'll give you love without sorrow
Together, together we'll find tomorrow
Trust in me, oh baby
Baby, won't you trust in me?
And the grass will sing for you
The sky will turn a brand new shade of blue just for you
And in your heart, you feel a glow
That's when you'll know
My love for you

Cutting class, run the streets
Puff and pass, smoking weed
All my teachers, looking for me
Don't think I'm where, I'm supposed to be
Breaking these chains of less education
More Mary Jane in my pot rotation
No one to blame for this devastation
Taking away my rehab salvation
We're throwing it all in the trash
The best time that I've ever had
Digging deeper into my stash
To keep me high off the grass
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Gonna stay, smoking pot
Mary Jane, always hits the spot
Choking again, I just can't get enough
Sticky grass in my hand, burning down in my lung
Breaking these chains of less education
More Mary Jane in my pot rotation
No one to blame for this devastation
Taking away my rehab salvation
We're throwing it all in the trash
The best time that I've ever had
Digging deeper into my stash
To keep me high off the grass
(Spark that shit up man!)
Breaking these chains of less education
More Mary Jane in my pot rotation
No one to blame for this devastation
Taking away my rehab salvation
We're throwing it all in the trash
The best time that I've ever had
Digging deeper into my stash
To keep me high off the grass

I was born into a scene
of angriness and greed,
and dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen,
my dad I've never seen,
I was never meant to be.
And now I spend my time
looking all around,
For a man
that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him
I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man,
gonna travel around.
Chorus:
'Cos I'm a wrathchild,
well I'm a wrathchild.
Yeah I'm a wrathchild.
I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah.
Say it doesn't matter
ain't nothin' gonna alter
the course of my destination.
I know I've got to find
some serious piece of mind,
or I know I'll go crazy.
But now I spend my time
looking all around,
For a man
thats nowhere to be found.
Until I find him
I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man,
gonna travel around.

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
