Tree Hugger Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

Flower said, "I wish I was a tree" 

The tree said, "I wish I could be 

A different kind of tree" 

The cat wished that it was a bee 

The turtle wished that it could fly 

Really high into the sky 

Over rooftops and then dive 

Deep into the sea 

And in the sea there is a fish 

A fish that has a secret wish 

A wish to be a big cactus 

With a pink flower on it 

And in the sea there is a fish 

A fish that has a secret wish 

A wish to be a big cactus 

With a pink flower on it 

And the flower would be 

Its offering of love to the desert 

And the desert so dry and lonely 

That the creatures all appreciate the effort 

Et le jackalope a dit 

"Je voudrais tre un yeti 

Pour voler dans la nuit 

Et m'en aller loin d'ici" 

Mais le yeti a dit 

"Je voudrais tre un monstre marin 

Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer 

De tous les requins" 

And the rattlesnake said 

"I wish I had hands so I could hug you like a man" 

And then the cactus said, "But don't you understand?" 

"My skin is covered with sharp spikes 

That'll stab you like a thousand knives 

A hug would be nice 

But hug my flower with your eyes" 

Till the flower said, "I wish I was a tree" 

The tree said, "I wish I could be 

A different kind of tree" 

The cat wished that it was a bee 

The turtle wished that it could fly 

Really high into the sky 

Over rooftops and then dive 

Deep into the sea 

And in the sea there is a fish 

A fish that has a secret wish 

A wish to be a big cactus 

With a pink flower on it 

And in the sea there is a fish 

A fish that has a secret wish 

A wish to be a big cactus 

With a pink flower on it 

And the flower would be 

Its offering of love to the desert 

And the desert so dry and lonely 

That the creatures all appreciate the effort
