But nothing ever happens and I wonder I'm driving around _____________ my car I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far I'd like to change my point _________ view
I feel so lonely I'm waiting _________ you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder I wonder how I wonder why yesterday you told me
'bout the blue blue sky and all tall that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head _________ and _________
I'm turning turning turning turning turning _________
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

I'm sitting here I miss the power I'd like to go ___________
taking a shower but there's a heavy cloud _________ my head
I feel so tired, put myself _________ bed where nothing
ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit _________ a lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around _________ a desert _________ joy Baby anyhow I'll get another toy and everything will happen and you'll wonder I wonder how I wonder..
