I Live In A Tree Lyrics

I live in a tree
Come home at night
Then I watch TV
My skin is sore
By friends are birds around here
They feed me leaves
I am a tree
I am a tree

Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

You were on the roof top
You were looking for me
On our own island
You'll soon find me
On the train from Stockholm
Gothenburg is fear (?)
I am a tree
I am a tree

After a while
I laid my head down and cry
and I will talk for a while
and I started to ask people why
After a while
I laid my head down and cry
and I will talk for a while
and I started to ask people why

It was warm and friendly
they were were having ice
On the avenue
make your choices carefully

Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

After a while
I laid my head down and cry
and I will talk for a while
and I started to ask people why
After a while
I laid my head down and cry
and I will talk for a while
and I started to ask people why

I live in a tree
They feed me leaves
I live in a tree
They feed me leaves

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
