Lost in Sekaten Fair

Walking south to the north square
just to show you the yearly fair
soon we get lost in the crowd
plunge into the stream of people

not much interested in merry-go-round
what we're waiting is the parade of the cones
a bit attracted by the red eggs
then you say you love hearing the music played

there they come
make your camera ready
oh, but those people don't understand
we've got to move there

but we're blocked by that thick human wall
just try to find a way somehow
sweat's running down on my face
oaoaohhhh...

it's hard, it's a hard fight
come on, hold on
we've got to reach there

but the crowd don't seem to give any air
they lift me up
and I'm flying, flying, flying
streaming, streaming, streaming
an where are you?
