I'm sitting here in a boring room 00:13

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon 00:17

I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do 00:20

I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you 00:24

But nothing ever happens 00:26

And I wonder 00:30

I'm driving around in my car 00:34

I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far 00:37

I'd like to change my point of view 00:40

I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you 00:44

But nothing ever happens 00:47

And I wonder 00:50

I wonder how, I wonder why 00:53

Yesterday you told me 'bout the 00:57

Blue, blue sky 00:59

And all that I can see 01:00

Is just a yellow lemon tree 01:03

I'm turning my head up and down 01:07

I'm turning, turning, turning, turning 01:10

Turning around 01:12

And all that I can see 01:13

Is just another lemon tree 01:16

Sing dah 01:20

Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah 01:22

Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah 01:26

Dab-deedly dah 01:29

I'm sitting here, I miss the power 01:34

I'd like to go out, taking a shower 01:37

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head 01:41

I feel so tired, put myself into bed 01:44

Well, nothing ever happens 01:47

And I wonder 01:50

Isolation is not good for me 01:54

Isolation, I don't want to 02:01

Sit on a lemon tree 02:06

I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy 02:08

Maybe anyhow I'll get another toy 02:11

And everything will happen 02:14

And you wonder 02:17

I wonder how, I wonder why 02:21

Yesterday you told me 'bout the 02:24

Blue, blue sky 02:26

And all that I can see 02:27

Is just another yellow lemon tree 02:30

I'm turning my head up and down 02:34

I'm turning, turning, turning, turning 02:37

Turning around 02:39

And all that I can see 02:41

Is just a yellow lemon tree 02:44

And I wonder, wonder 02:46

I wonder how, I wonder why 02:48

Yesterday you told me 'bout the 02:51

Blue, blue sky 02:53

And all that I can see 02:54

And all that I can see 02:58

[English]

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 dah
Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah
Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah
Dab-deedly dah
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
Well, 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 steppin' around in a desert of joy
Maybe anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen
And you 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 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 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
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree
