Lyrics

I´m sitting here in a boring room
It´s just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I´m wasting my time, I got nothing to do
I´m hanging around, I´m waiting for you
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder

I´m driving around  in my car
I´m driving too fast,  I´m driving too far
I´d like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I´m waiting for you
But nothing ever happens, and I wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me ´bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I´m turning my head up and down
I´m turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

Sing! Da, da da dee da,

I´m sitting here, I miss the power
I´d like to go out taking a shower
But there´s a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Where nothing ever happens, and I wonder

Isolation, is not good for me
Isolation, I don´t want to sit on a lemon tree
I´m stepping around in a desert of joy
Baby anyhow I´ll get another toy
And everything will happen, and you´ll wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why
Yesterday you told me ´bout the blue, blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I´m turning my head up and down
I´m turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

And I wonder, wonder, I wonder how,  I wonder why
Yesterday you told me ´bout the blue, blue sky
And all that I can see (dit dit dit)
And all that I can see (dit dit dit)
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

Lyrics

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love

What have you done now?

I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done?

What have you done now?

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done ?
What have you done now?

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy?
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done

What have you done now

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done?
What have you done now?

I will not fall
Won't let it go
We will be free
When it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
