lyrics

I live in a dirty hole, wasting my time.
My fairy enlightens me slowly.
Roses are red, but I see dwarves,
I try to catch them, my Lord;
I want them all for me.
Eating forty tangerines is not enough for me
I can see my whole life passing by
Now I’m lying on the floor the kitchen is so far
Lucky me! Now my friend is a rat.
Walking is my sorrow now, I won’t do it again
You know, my fairy doesn’t love me.
Hate the bus, it feels like a different world
And I cry and cry again,
Oh I won’t see your tower no, no more…
Eating forty tangerines is not enough for me
I can see my whole life passing by
Now I’m lying on the floor the kitchen is so far
Lucky me! Now my friend is a rat.
Now I feel so lonely, now I feel, so, so sad. Oh so sad.
So won’t you please, please come back to me again?
Now I live in a dirty hole, I’m the man of the dirty hole!
