Babe, where do you go
When you don’t wanna have people to know
Where you hide cause you’re scared
When the world is going insane
And it’s hard to give up,
To let them take control and to follow their rules
And it sucks to suffer
How it’s messed up and confirm what they say was not true
Babe, where do you hide
when you don't wanna have people around
Cause sometimes it is hard
to hear their secrets and how they can lie
Please take me to a place
where there's no sorrow and no mistakes
By the time we get there,
I hope they will finally love each other
Babe, where do you cry
when you don’t want people to die
Cause they seem to be nice
or could be nicer if they tried
And we love them so hard
that it could make us build a new universe
By the time we make it
they will send a letter to tell us they’re sorry
