Wake up, comb my hair Making food disappear Riding bikes, making out Elephants run you down You and I run away, blushing cheeks Howling wolves, colourful fireworks Every time, everyone, everything's full of life Everyday, everywhere, people are so alive We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive! We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive! Horfandi, þegjandi, tala við, skríðandi Dreymandi, strjúka af, koma við ekki má Mála á líkama, spilað á renglandi Hlaupandi! Leikandi! Get it on, let it out, fucking and spúandi Get it on, let it out, fucking and kæfandi We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive! Exist all in love, in life! We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive! Let's not stop, let's grow and live! I see you colourful, I see you in the trees I see you spiritful, you're in the breeze I see it in your hands, tree fingers draw a beam I see you in the sand, roll down the stream I see you in the trees, I see you colourful I see you in the breeze, you're spiritful Tree fingers draw a beam, I see it in your hands You're rolling down the stream, you're in the sand I see you colourful, I see you in the trees I see you spiritful, You're in the breeze I see it in your hands, tree fingers draw a beam I see you in the sand, roll down the stream I see you in the trees, I see you colourful I see you in the breeze, you're spiritful Tree fingers draw a beam, I see it in your hands You're rolling down the stream, you're in the sand I see you colourful, I see you in the trees I see you spiritful, you're in the breeze I see it in your hands, tree fingers draw a beam I see you in the sand, roll down the stream
