driving is not hanging sitting
I _______________ (1) here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I _______________ (2) my time
I got nothing to do
I _______________ (3) around
I _______________ (4) for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I _______________ (5) around in my car
I _______________ (6) too fast
I _______________ (7) too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I _______(8) so lonely
I _______________ (9) for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
step don´t want miss turning waiting wasting
feel
I _______________ (15) here
I ________(16) the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I _______ so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation _______ (17) good for me
Isolation I _________(18) to sit on the lemon-tree
I _______________ (19) around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how And I wonder, wonder

I wonder why I wonder how
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky I wonder why
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
