Hjelpeløs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Du er hjelpeløs som liv,
en frukt av tidens fordriv.
Du er hjelpeløs elev
med krav som svar på ditt strev
Du er hjelpeløs som mann,
når kvinnen vet hva hun kan
Alle munner snakker
og pakker
deg inn i prat.
Alle munner takker
for god, feit mat.
Alle hender strekker
og trekker
deg rundt i ring.
Alle hender rekker
deg vakre, tomme ting.
Livets spill.
Lykke til!
Du er hjelpeløs i sorg
når gleden ler rundt din borg.
Du er hjelpeløs i fred,
når krig blir kjempet et sted.
Du er hjelpeløs mot kveld-
en fisk i vanvittig sprell.
Alle munner gaper
og raper
og lukter løk.
Alle munner ler av
en ny, grov spøk.
Alle hender foldes
og holdes
i hellig krans.
Alle hender klapper
den tapte fillefrans.
Dødens spill.
Lykke til!
