Bilingual
I sit down in the underground trying to be gay
See the wild grass turn just into hay
I say the magic movement but they don't fly away
Bad karma, it ricochets my eye
Bad karma 'round me
ย
The asp and the ash-eared and the infant of flame
Murgatroyd and Doris and the leper leaping lame
The sad and the giggly and the black-soot swain
I see your face and know you
ย
Easy as lightning I've laughed in the leaves
And I'd feel like Ali Baba when he quit the forty thieves
I can croon no more so you cause me to grieve
I see your face and know you
ย
I don't dig hating and I don't like to try
But how can I love you when you want to make me die
Oh Lord, I live and learn
I see your face and know you
ย
I wish I was springtime, green as the snow
I'd sprinkle me with growing dust, green for to grow
I'd leave here running 'cause walking's too slow
I see your face and know you
Oh, watch how the light comes new each day
If you learn how to wonder you will know how to pray
Oh Lord, I live and learn
I see your face and know you
