Lyrics[edit]

Part one[edit]

In a room a young girl sits,
And sings her sad lament.
'Cause things are not the same it seems,
As in such Simpson dreams.
Slowly passing days at school,
And dad is changing jobs.
Working on the nukes with Finns,
Is not the place for him.
Why do his golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams...

Part two[edit]

Fun is just a word I've heard,
When I'm feeling sad.
Stories eight hard years have taught me,
I cannot share with dad...

Behind the Laughter[edit]
