lyrics

I want to live in a house with a garden
I wanna hang downside up from the trees
I want a river and a swing to jump to the other side
I want to feel all the beetles crawling over my skin
I wanna share new tricks and skills with my friends
I wanna grow organic fruit and vegetables
I wanna learn how to use the chainsaw
so I can murder joggers in the surrounding forest

I wanna jam into the morning hours
I wanna write good songs cause I'm so inspired
I wanna do acrobatics and roll in the grass
I wanna skinny dip in winter, scream and laugh
I wanna sit on the rooftop and watch the sunset
I wanna sit by the campfire and listen to stories
to then fall into a wondrous slumber
and wake up and find

that bitch is on fire
that bitch is on fire
That bitch is on fire!!!

Fast-food fumes and distractions from the big city
No, I don't wanna take every given opportunity!
I want to go to bed soon like the flowers do
so I can wake up and say "Good Morning World!"
I wanna jump into the sea from a 50-metre high cliff
I wanna scuba dive and high-five with the high fish
I wanna climb big rocks and feel tough
I wanna be able to do real push-ups
I wanna do real push-ups
not the ones with your knees on the ground

And I don't want to kill mosquitos
cause I know everyone's a bloodsucker sometimes
I wanna meditate on the sting
or ask them politely to leave
Who knows, they might also have
creative yearnings and dreams
Maybe they're actively conscious
in different layers of dimensions
where they create clone armies out of our blood samples

Hey, everybody's got a reason to live
and honestly, I quite like the taste of my blood
and with these new menstruation moon cups
it's really easy to collect
Once I put my blood into a banana smoothie
Hey that was really fun and a powerful experience

Sympathy for mosquitos!
Sympathy for mosquitos!!
Sympathy for mosquitos!!!!!

I want to be choked while having sex
I wish I had smaller tits and thinner legs
Yeah I consider myself a hairy feminist
but my thoughts are still stuck in this patriarchal bullshit
I wanna make a proper living as an artist
I wanna earn lots of money and pay no taxes
so I can buy instruments, high quality food,
recording equipment, surfing lessons, good shoes

I wanna quit addictions, sugar, internet
I wanna masturbate more and live in the moment
I wanna communicate through telepathy
the way known by aborigines
I wanna change my physical reality
with the power of my mind
I wanna get a grip on astral travelling
hug demons, let there be light

And I still believe in love
I still believe in love
like even romantic love
like having kids together
love that embraces the dark and the ugly
that isn't driven by ego pleasure

I wanna be a party pooper

about

Alicia Edelweiss

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician.
