maajalkaisten murha; tapettiin; jo kuulin siitä ennen
maajaloin; taimet kannoin
kruununsa vaihtuu suopaan; antaa kalujen pudota
prinsessan ahtaudesta; naimisiin
mistä päästä; kuu nousee päätään
kai yritin ripustautua; siitä irti; josko olin oljilla; synnyin ja kasvoin
katselin sinua jo tunnin; etkä herännyt; pitempään
ilta lähestyi sinua jo minuutin; odotin
kultaisen buddhan; jalkojen juureen; kumarrut sinäkin
