Growing up on Cinnamon Street.

Everywhere you look there are lots of people to meet,

it’s seven o’clock,

the breakfast treat.

Now the schoolbus is here,

hurry up and grab a seat.

All the dreams are tiny ones,

another week has just begun on Cinnamon Street.

There was a girl on Cinnamon Street,

the same age as me,

we shared the curiosity.

I won her heart cos I could play guitar.

I promised her heaven at once and later all the stars.

But it all remained the same cos things can never change on Cinnamon Street.

I can hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love,

life was a lazy rest in the sun.

Later we went dancing,

staying up all night long

playing all our favourite songs,

Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na.

I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street.

Springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet.

I walk in a cloud,

the smell of cinnamon bread,

it’s in my blood since the day I was born ’til I wake up... dead.

And the sun is smiling gently,

a funny shade of red,

Cinnamon Street.

I still feel my heartbeat the very first time we made love,

life was a lazy day in the sun.

Later we went dancing,

hanging out all night long

singing all our favourite songs,

Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na na.
