Lyrics

We came down from the north
Blue hands and a torch
Red wine and food for free
A possibility
We share our mothers' health
It is what we've been dealt
What's in it for me?
Fine, then I'll agree

Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
The end is always near

Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
The end is always near

Say you like it
Say you need it
When you don't, oh
Looking better
Shining brighter
Than you do

Say you like it
Say you need it
When you don't
Looking better
Shining brighter
Than you do

Say you like it (Trees there will be)
Say you need it (Apples, fruits maybe)
When you don't (You know what I fear, the end is always near)
Looking better (Trees there will be)
Shining brighter (Apples, fruits maybe)
Than you do (You know what I fear, the end is always near)

Say you like it (We came down from the north)
Say you need it (Blue hands and a torch)
When you don't (Red wine and food for free, a possibility)
Looking better (We share our mothers' health)
Shining brighter (It is what we've been dealt)
Than you do (What's in it for me?  Fine, then I'll agree)

Say you like it (Trees there will be)
Say you need it (Apples, fruits maybe)
When you don't (You know what I fear, the end is always near)
Looking better (Trees there will be)
Shining brighter (Apples, fruits maybe)
Than you do (You know what I fear, the end is always near)
