Ходи, ходи над землей, воу Вокруг рандом, твой ход Ходи, ходи над (над) землей Ходи над землей, над землей (ходи) Над землей (ходи), над землей (ходи) Смирись с судьбой, или ползи Ползи наверх, к небу стремится любой человек В моём рту чернозём, прогрызая дорогу вперед Тонкая грань, где воображение, где самообман Кубик в стакан, мне нужен дубль, чтобы пацан повзрослел Нужен рубль, чтобы лететь, буст или буйство Бунт или просто каприз, где же мой приз Принц погибает, ведь нищий устроил сюрприз Душа летает, а тело лишь тупо болит Ходим по краю, влетаю в мошпит Думая лишь обо дном, что у жизни слишком бешенный ритм Не смотря на всё, я и так одержим (жим-жим-жим) Ходи над землей, во-оу Вокруг рандом, твой ход Ходи, ходи над землей, во-оу Вокруг рандом, твой ход (над землей) Хаос внутри, мне так нужен контроль Но я не властен над самим собой В поисках счастья нашёл много боли Мою в реке рассеченные брови Но это пока – дорогу осилит идущий Даже когда она в облака Плыву по течению, словно эластика Зато грациозно и с пластикой Что не понравится ластикам Ведь книга судьбы – лишь фантастика В руке мой стик и на стене свастика Перечеркнув её рукой мастера Рука во краске, я постирал Руками в шрамах и пластырях Охомутал жизнь, но хомуты в крови Мне похуй на тех, кто забыл слово "стимул" Мне похуй на тех, кто забыл слово "стиль" Ходи (ходи), ходи над землей Вокруг рандом, твой ход Ходи, ходи над землей, во-оу (э-эй) Ходи, ходи над (над) землей, е Ходи над землей (ву-ху), над землей (ву-ху) Над землей (у-ху) ходи, над землёй (у-ху) ходи Я вижу твои крылья, но они мне не нужны Над землей ходи, над землей, над землей

You've got the best of both worlds You're the kind of girl who can take down a man, And lift him back up again You are strong but you're needy, Humble but you're greedy Based on your body language, Your shouted cursive I've been reading Your style is quite selective, Though your mind is rather reckless Well I guess it just suggests That this is just what happiness is And what a beautiful mess this is Well it's like picking up trash in dresses Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write Kind of turn themselves into knives And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear 'Cause here we are, here we are Although you are biased I love your advice Your comebacks they're quick And probably have to do with your insecurities There's no shame in being crazy, Depending on how you take these Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging And what a beautiful mess this is It's like, picking up trash in dresses Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say Kind of turn themselves into blades Kind and courteous is a life I've heard But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt Oh dear, cause here we are, Here we are Here we are Here we are, Here we are... Here we are, We're still here What a beautiful mess this is It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes And through timeless words And priceless pictures We'll fly like birds Not of this earth And tides they turn And hearts disfigure But that's no concern When we're wounded together And we've torn our dresses And stained our shirts But it's nice today Oh the wait was so worth it
