Might be a little jazzy...

lyrics

Tickle me

I know it's not so elegant to say
That I would strangle anyone
Who's standing in our way
If every little problem
Could be tackled by a blow
I'd pack my things, I'd take the car
And we would simply go

Life is so much nicer in your head
You wanna dream about the sun
But you get rain instead
And still you keep on floating
On the fairytales inside
Cause no one's gonna stop a thought that's feeling oh so right

But you don't need a train or plane
You don't need to arrange a sabbatical year
Just take a breath and close your eyes
In your mind our paradise is getting near, so near

Tickle me under a mango tree
Get rid of all resistance
We'll never mind the distance
Tickle me under a mango tree
Let's enjoy the juice, we'll kiss away our blues together
In any kind of weather

It's not that I don't like the way it is
But sometimes in an instant
You realize you miss
Some simple things that used to be so present in the past
Now you've gotta look a while, yeah, life can change so fast

You don't need a train or plane
You don't need to arrange a sabbatical year
Just take a breath and close you eyes
In your mind our paradise is getting near, so near

Tickle me under a mango tree
Get rid of all resistance
We'll never mind the distance
Tickle me under a mango tree
Let's enjoy the juice, we'll kiss away our blues together
In any kind of weather
