the patience bossa with perry farrell

Deborah Harry

Hey settle down, stop racing round
When you go by too fast you ll find, life can pass you by

There s a lot of things I wanna get, a lot of things I wanna try, a lot of things I wanna do
I ve gotta get a move on if I wanna do things I want
I just can t stand here waiting for you.

There is no race, no second place
Everything we do can be done gracefully

You don t know how many things I have to get before I get to do the things I have to do for me
Why is it that you don t get that I am in a hurry here
Why don t you just listen to me.

Suddenly it seems that I understand just what you said

Oh, yeah?

No, rushing doesn t help, it s best to win the race with patience instead

Take your time my friends
Every moment can be filled with joy
No matter how you rush you can never get ahead

I get it now you showed me how, it s exactly how you say patience leads the way

When I get upset because I haven t gotten what I want instead of freaking out I settle down
Life is nicer when you let it go the way it s going to go
At least that s true as far as I ve found
When I m on a line or in a traffic jam or waiting room I always try to keep a level head
People get upset because they aren t getting what they want but I just say be patient instead
I just say be patient instead
