Waltz

Wa going to write a song at a time
When my life and my moods were in order and fine
But the hour was late and my room was a state
And I realized that song I would never create
And so this is a song I discovered instead
The song about living before we are dead
And by living I don´t mean prfection like gold
Cos living my friends is the sweet unresolved
La la la la la la la
Lean over your balconies and don´t run inside
Look after your world and she might treat you right
Let random-things-provide-imagination sometimes oh
I´ve seen people trying to package their love
Like a dove in the kitchen with a note that says
Make sure you scrub well and plan and prepare everything
Affection as clean as a triangle ting
But love it or not love´s as mad as they come
Oh it´s sly and it´s wise and it´s wonderfully dumb
And while some might still say ´No it´s pure like one´
My love it is wild and not mild and on the run
An Austrian waltz is a very strange thing
When it´s played in the midst of a Melbourne music boxing ring
And who said that culture couldn´t grow from a whim
My god there is strength when a cat learns how to swim
´And what is a king´ he screamed at the wind
A king is decisive without and within
They can´t make me stumble they don´t hit my chin
They told me I mumbled so I decided to sing
I´d never be too old or bitter or thin
Was born with a smile and I´ll die with a grin
And I dive in the ocean when the sky tumbles in
And I´d rise when I find a way to make her shining
And I know the trick that the gods love to play
You say you want one thing they take it away
Bu action I´ve found is a seven letter word
Pretend you want a shoebox
And find you´ve found the world
When my life and my moods were in order and fine
But the hour was late and my room was a state
And I realized that song I would never create
And so this is a song I discovered instead
The song about living before we are dead
And by living I don´t mean prfection like gold
Cos living my friends is the sweet unresolved
La la la la la la la
Lean over your balconies and don´t run inside
Look after your world and she might treat you right
Let random-things-provide-imagination sometimes oh
I´ve seen people trying to package their love
Like a dove in the kitchen with a note that says
Make sure you scrub well and plan and prepare everything
Affection as clean as a triangle ting
But love it or not love´s as mad as they come
Oh it´s sly and it´s wise and it´s wonderfully dumb
And while some might still say ´No it´s pure like one´
My love it is wild and not mild and on the run
An Austrian waltz is a very strange thing
When it´s played in the midst of a Melbourne music boxing ring
And who said that culture couldn´t grow from a whim
