[Verse 1]

When I grow up

I want to be a forester

Run through the moss on high heels

That's what I'll do

Throwing out a boomerang

Waiting for it to come back to me

[Verse 2]

When I grow up

I want to live near the sea

Crab claws and bottles of rum

That's what I'll have

Staring at the seashell

Waiting for it to embrace me

[Verse 3]

I put my soul in what I do

Last night I drew a funny man

With dog eyes and a hanging tongue

It goes way back

I've never liked that sad look

From someone who wants to be loved by you

[Verse 4]

I'm very good with plants

When my friends are away

They let me keep the soil moist

On the seventh day I rest

For a minute or two

Then back on my feet and call for you

[Verse 5]

You've got cucumbers on your eyes

Too much time spent on nothing

Waiting for a moment to arise

The face in the ceiling

And arms too long

I'm waiting for him to catch me

[Instrumental]

[Outro]

Waiting for you to embrace me
