Growing up on Cinnamon Street
Everywhere you look there are lots of people to meet
It's seven o'clock, the breakfast treat
Now the school bus is here, hurry up and grab a seat
All the dreams are tiny ones
Another has just begun on Cinnamon Street

There was a boy on Cinnamon Street
The same age as me, we shared the curiosity
He won my heart 'cause he could play guitar
Well, he promised me heaven at once and later all the stars
But it all remained the same
'Cause things can never change on Cinnamon Street

I can hear my heart beat the very first time we made love
Life was a lazy rest in the sun
Later we went dancing, staying up all night long
Playing all our favourite songs, cinnamon songs
Na na na na...

I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street
Springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet
I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread
It's in my blood since the day I was born 'til I wake up dead
And the sun is smiling gently, a funny shade of red - Cinnamon Street

I still feel my heart beat the very first time we made love
Life was a lazy day in the sun
Later we went dancing, hanging out all night long
Singing all our favourite songs, cinnamon songs
Na na na na na...
