Lyrics

Now I sleep in the belly of woman

And I sleep in the belly of man

And I sleep in the belly of rhythm

I sleep in the belly of love

And I sleep in the belly of oceans

And I sleep in the belly of truth

I sleep in the belly of kindness

And I sleep in the belly of you

I'm just a little boy

I'm just a little boy

I'm just a little boy

It's just that, I mean, I mean, I'm just a little boy

Know I'm just a, I'm just a

I'm just-just a-

I need love

I need love

I need love

I, I, I, I'm just a, just a

I'm just, just a, just, just a little boy

I'm just, just a, just a-

I'm not human

I'm not human

I'm not human

I'm not, I'm not human, no, I'm not

I need love

I need love

I need love

I need love

Shut it, shut it all

Shut it! Shut it!

Shut it!

I'm just-just a-

Living in wonderland

Living in wonderland

Living in wonderland

Living in wonderland
