Welcome to our part of the universe
Where the traffic lights are just suggestions
Find us in the third galaxy on the right
Go left at the end of the milky-way
We hope you will enjoy your stay
the drummer plays on a violin bow
And the guitar sounds like it’s broken

Hating means loving and kissing means coughing
In this country the king is a peppermint

Even though it is divergent
I’m learning to live
Far away from my base
I'm trying to grow new roots
Even though
I’m not sure. Will you let them grow

Most people cry when they
hear major chords
And at your birthday
we’ll sing you the blues
The length of a traffic jam
varies between 2 and 8 weeks
Complain and you’re placed at the back
Put on your warmest sweater
The temperature instantly drops ten degrees

Dating means cheating
Avoiding means greeting
the queen is the polisher of coins

Even though it is divergent
I’m learning to live
Far away from my base
I'm trying to grow new roots
Even though
I’m not sure. Will you let them grow?

I'm trying
to learn backwards
But it's harder than learning Dutch
Will you be kind to me if I fail
I'm learning your language
What good is it if no-one talks to me

I can give you the rest of my life
But what will you give me in return
I’m learning the geography of a place
whose name I don’t know
but give me the time I need

I want to laugh with your daughters
I want to cheer with your sons
I want to learn from your fathers
I’d like to be me and one of you
