You told me that morning
was bought with a kiss
And that war was on sale
and that peace had a price tag
That politic dressed itself in gold, silver, and fine linen
and what comes from the mouth the ear pays a tax for
That every day the road gets more narrow
Ay! that the streets are hard
That these streets are hard
Ay! that he who doesn't run flies
That he who doesn't run flies
Ay! that the moon gets further away
That the moon gets further away
Ay! I ask myself and mediate
What is the square root of my own being?
You told me that the lie
wore contact lenses
And that a Valentino shoe self-proclaimed inexpensive
That a tariff fell in love
with a tributary in a tax free zone
That anesthesia went off to London
to a congress on tourism
That each day has its eagerness and to you I explain
Ay! that the streets are hard
That these streets are hard
Ay! that he who doesn't run flies
That he who doesn't run flies
Ay! that the moon gets further away
That the moon gets further away
Ay! I ask myself and mediate
What is the square root of my own being?
Bring it down!
And there's no favoritism with coffee
The first to pass is the one who is going to drink
That Tchaikovsky was Russian and Debussy was French
When the river sounds it's because it brings water I know
That clubs are the French of society
Where 7 fit 23 fit
That the night feels good for Star Trek
Hey! Man, do not mess around with that!
Ay! that the streets are hard
That these streets are hard
Ay! that he who doesn't run flies
That he who doesn't run flies
Ay! that the moon gets further away
That the moon gets further away
Ay! I ask myself and mediate
What is the square root of my own being?
Love somebody
Need somebody
Love somebody
Need somebody
