Lyrics
I'm drivin' drivin' in the rain
As melting castles of sugarcane wash away
My innocence does still exist
It does and doesn't know
When it will no longer be
I've built these fortress walls you see
You look but don't touch please
Don't light the fuse
Fragility is miseries first name
but last names always change
do you want mine
I'm drivin' drivin' in the rain
As melting castles of sugarcane
Wash away
