When lost in a jungle
Quand perdu dans une jungle
Love is a door
Love is a doorway
In a kung-fu hustle
Dans un combat de kung-fu
Who you gonna chose to lose to
A Roman emperor
Or a crown of thorns
Well, you made your bed, you're a big boy now
So how's it gonna play out
Alors comment ça va se passer
A little push, and a pull, and a rough, and a tumble
Un petit coup, et une traction, et un rugueux, et une chute
A bitter-sweet pill that you just won't swallow
I believe, I believe there's a key to a castle
With an aching heart that's crying
Stop, take time, think a bit
Slow down, look at what you've got
Lost in the thick of it
Stop, rewind a little bit
Who knows, you might go changing minds
Shifting paradigms
A big fish in a slow coach
Stuck in your mind
Gonna eat your heart out
One, two, the end of the universe
See the planets spinning
Out of time
There's a yearning, burning
Feeling you're concealing somewhere there
A little push, and a pull, and a rough, and a tumble
A bitter-sweet pill that you just won't swallow
I believe, I believe there's a key to a castle
With an aching heart that's crying
Stop, take time, think a bit
Stop, take your time, think a little
Slow down, look at what you've got
Slow down, see what you have
Lost in the thick of it
Stop, rewind a little bit
Stop, rewind just a little
Who knows, you might go changing minds
Who knows, you might change some minds
Shifting paradigms
A little push, and a pull, and a rough, and a tumble
A bitter-sweet pill that you just won't swallow
I believe, I believe there's a key to a castle
With an aching heart that's crying
With a heart in pain that's crying
Stop, take time, think a bit
Slow down, look at what you've got
Lost in the thick of it
Stop, rewind a little bit
Who knows, you might go changing minds
