Delirio

Waking up standing, how do you do it?
Every morning just trying to stay calm
To work, tell me how I’m supposed to do it now
To feel good when my ass has been kicked since eight-thirty
Get up early, get out, you don’t have time
To grab a sandwich, a cappuccino
And there’s no place to smoke, just a moment of peace
If I could read the sports news
My ass is kicked
Stuck in traffic
And I’m on my scooter, weaving through, I speed up
Trying to escape
You do what you can, at most
Calendar open for the next appointment
It’s already clear I’ll be late
The phone rings but I’m not answering now
It feels like the world wants to stop me right now
But I don’t have time, in fact
My ass is kicked

How do you do it
To not dream
Of the life that
You’re living now
Look at me, see how I’m doing
But how do you do it
To not dream
Of the life that
You’re living now
Look at me, see how I’m doing

I relax
How do I do it
And if I think I have just one minute to stay together

People to meet
In the sun or when it rains
I feel like I’m going crazy
How can I now
Be cheerful when my ass has been kicked since eight-thirty
Back in traffic, fighting my way home
I get in, change, and I’m late
I take the car and there’s just no gas
And my ass is kicked until tomorrow morning

How do you do it
To not dream
Of the life that
You’re living now
Look at me, see how I’m doing
But how do you do it
To not dream
Of the life that
You’re living now
Look at me, see how I’m doing (x2)
