simmering rage  shivering night

my hand teacher throat i feel "M" "N" "ahhhh"

teacher say no no no no  teacher slap hands 
shame on you shame on you  shame on you
simmering rage  shivering night

many many many stars  maybe i go one star
i very happy   we very happy
earth wrong place  wrong place  you know EAR th
wrong place   wrong place  wrong place
simmering rage  shivering night
