The flower said “I wish I was a tree”
The tree said “I wish I could be
a different kind of tree”
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with
a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with
a pink flower on it
And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert
And the deserts
So dry and lonely
That the creatures and appreciate the effort
Et le jackalope a dit
Je voudrais être un yeti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m’en aller loin d’ici
Mais le yeti a dit
Je voudrais être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer
De tous les requins.
And the rattlesnake said
“I wish I had hands
So I could hug you like a man”
And then the cactus said
“but don’t you understand?
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That’ll stab you like a thousand knives
A hug would be nice
but hug my flower with your eyes”
The flower said “I wish I was a tree”
The tree said “I wish I could be
a different kind of tree”
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
really high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with
a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with
a pink flower on it
And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert
And the deserts
So dry and lonely
That the creatures and appreciate the effort
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with
a pink flower on it
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus with
a pink flower on it
And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert
And the deserts
So dry and lonely
That the creatures and appreciate the effort
Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants – Tree Hugger. I heard this the first time in Juno. I just love this song!
Speaking of Juno. The song Anyone Else But You that Juno and Paulie sings in the end has some really, really good lyrics to.
Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
(The Moldy Peaches – Anyone Else But You)
