Lyrics
Two Kinds of Happiness
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.
Happiness is two different things
What you take and then what you bring
One is pleasure, one's discipline
One's devotion, one's just the ring
Desire and reward
Long term and short term joy
Don't waste your heart
Don't waste your heart
One has nothing to do with the other
and the world is all cousins not brothers
Hard to take you off my love
One's an instant, one takes some will
One gives life and one makes you kill
One's the means and one's for the end
Desire and reward
Long term and short term joy
Don't waste your heart
Don't waste your heart
One has nothing to do with the other
and the world is all cousins not brothers
Don't you give in,
You're beginning!
