Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

I've forgot all that I had, still livin about your pad,
It's a mean unleasant land
Sometimes you come in deep inside, sometimes it doesn't touch the sides,
Like a sausage up an alleyway

How innocent is the day, when you smiled and then you lay on your side

Below     outdoor sun?... It's another plan... It's another land
