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
