[English]

[Maxi Jazz]

If you place a thing in the centre of your life

That lacks the power to nourish

It will eventually poison everything that you are

And destroy you

As simple a thing as an idea

Or your perspective on yourself or the world

No-one can be the source of your contempt

It lies within, in the centre

Only with mellow are you thin enough to slide through

Only with mellow are you thin enough to slide through

Don't let nothing ride you

If the sun or the moon should give way to doubt

They would immediately go out

One swallow don't make a summer

But tomorrow has to start somewhere.

Newspapers entertain

Lion tamers die in pain

This child wise beyond words

Whose tears flow without cease

Newspapers entertain

Lion tamers die in pain

This child wise beyond words

Whose tears flow without cease

[Zo']

When there's nowhere left to run to

Let me come to you, let me help you down

For when the world gives you tomorrow

You're gonna learn to live again

We can learn as we go

Oh learn as we go

Just to live for the day

I know it's hard to live for the moment

Just try anyway

[Maxi Jazz]
