Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000
[Verse 1]
Green lawns shimmer, rockets fly,
Beetle cars whisper passing by.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000
A game unfolds, a joyful spree,
Laughter echoes wild and free!

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Catapulted, circling bright,
Lost in wonder, pure delight.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
[Chorus]
Invasion! A tremor of glee,
A world turned upside down for me!

6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Forks and spoons, a curious quest,
To conquer all, put skills to the test!

7
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The grown-ups watch with tolerant eyes,
While childhood’s magic brightly flies.

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
[Verse 2]
Dirt on my hands, sweat in my hair,
A mission calls, beyond compare!

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Mom doesn't see, she can't understand,
The urgency held within this hand.

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Spoons and wrenches, a vital need,
To plant the seeds of a daring deed!

11
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,000
[Chorus]
Invasion! A tremor of glee,
A world turned upside down for me!

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Forks and spoons, a curious quest,
To conquer all, put skills to the test!

13
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The grown-ups watch with tolerant eyes,
While childhood’s magic brightly flies.

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
[Bridge]
Ten years old, I stand apart,
A longing whispers in my heart.

15
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,000
To join the fray, to laugh and play,
But grown-up shadows block the way.

16
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:52,000
They say I’m old, too wise to see,
The simple joy of being free.

17
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,000
[Chorus]
Invasion! A tremor of glee,
A world turned upside down for me!

18
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Forks and spoons, a curious quest,
To conquer all, put skills to the test!

19
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
The grown-ups watch with tolerant eyes,
While childhood’s magic brightly flies.

20
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,000
[Outro]
Dim-dims calling, far away…
Hexagonal dreams light up today...

21
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000
A world transformed, a silent plea,
For children's hearts to truly be free…

22
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
…Invasion…
