Iris

Four hours in a pot, one hour out
It grows and i sleep standing up
When iris sleeps over
What a book she'll write
Stay for last time
Oh come on, nobody wants that
Sister - sister, oh oh oh oh oh
We tried hour by hour
Hour by hour
Hour by hour
Four hours to daylight, four hours and then
Pour water on me til i live again
When iris sleeps over
It'll be alright
All last night
Because - come on, nobody wants that
Sister, sister, oh oh oh oh oh
We tried hour by hour
Hour by hour
Hour by hour
