The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I drank a rainbow but I could not get me drunk

All I could get me was blue,

Red round the eyes where I cried bout how green I'd been

Regarding you

And all the works you do

I took a jet plane but I could not get me gone

All I could get me was here,

Stuck in the dirt ankle deep, riches crashing in our atmosphere

No parachute hangs near

And I don't want to find myself this way again

I don't want to pick the thorny rose

I don't want to let love spoil the day again

But it may again, who knows

I don't wanna be here

I smoked a forest but I could not get me lost

All I could get me was found

Gretel skips home and I rode on my hands and knees upon the

ground

Our candy house melts down

And I don't want to find myself this way again

I don't want to pick the thorny rose

I don't want to let love spoil the day again

But it may again, who knows

Swallowed a mountain, but I could not get me high

All I could get me was low

Really marked down in your sale of the century

And we all know

That everything must go

And I don't want to find myself this way again (I don't

wanna...)

I don't want to pick the thorny rose

I don't want to let love spoil the day again

But it may again, who knows

(repeat)

I don't wanna be here

I don't wanna be here

(where'd you wanna be, who'd you wanna be with, where'd you

wanna be)
