[Verse 1]
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
I find you so far from my sight
I'm lost in my old green light
[Chorus]
Don't help me my love
My brother, my girl
Just tell your name
Just let me say who am I
[Verse 2]
A big white plastic finger
Surrounds my dark green hair
But it's not your unknown caress
It's not from your unknown right hand
[Chorus] x 2
[Verse 2]
I am the sun, the darkness
My name is Green Wave
Death, salt, South America is my name
World is my name, my size
And under my name here am I
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
[Chorus] x 3
[Outro]
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
I find you so far from my sight
I'm lost in my old green light
[Chorus]
Don't help me my love
My brother, my girl
Just tell your name
Just let me say who am I
[Verse 2]
A big white plastic finger
Surrounds my dark green hair
But it's not your unknown caress
It's not from your unknown right hand
[Chorus] x 2
[Verse 2]
I am the sun, the darkness
My name is Green Wave
Death, salt, South America is my name
World is my name, my size
And under my name here am I
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
[Chorus] x 3
[Outro]
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
