Licorice and nuts
There are no if's and there aren't any buts
He was just there
He was just standing there

He was on an island
In the North Atlantic Ocean
Just minding his own
He was just doing his thing

And in that moment
Everything changed

Is he strange
Or is it you, who never saw the light?
Decades of everything wrong
Give way to everything right
But that don't mean that it will stick
He's not some flower you can pick

Purples, reds and blues
You act like you have never read the news
Now you must choose
What are you going to do?

It's just good to know
That you can love while you are letting go
Look at the snow
Look at it swirl and blow

And you never thought that tree would grow

Is he strange
Or is it you, who never saw the light?
Decades of everything wrong
Give way to everything right
But that don't mean that it will stick
He's not some flower you can pick

Brown norwegian cheese
Don't worry who you do
And do not please
At the very least
You've got other dead horses to beat

You can't win or lose
You simply are, and that's how he is too
And you're never through
Nobody said that it would be smooth

Now close your eyes and concentrate on this groove

Is he strange
Or is it you, who never saw the light?
Decades of everything wrong
Give way to everything right
Baby you're not strange
You are the only one who's ever been right
I'm just sorry that I let you down
And that's what keeps me up at night

And I only hope that you can see
That you've transformed this heart inside of me
