The mechanics of the heart Why so hard to get up in the morning To find that rhyme earn then esteem Of myself and life I climb each day fast Against the wind and against my will but tonight I'm at the top What does it matter if I have tears the pain under my skin If anger devours me I'm here to pay gabelle Every day a wound I get up all right You are more and more terrified our world is even wider I am bereft of a sword when I seek my prey A rhyme that pleases me or a phrase that gladdens me We don't then need Rovazzi to go commanding Just take four steps into the mechanics of the heart The mechanics of the heart the mechanics of the heart the mechanics of the heart That's where everything comes from and where everyone dwells When you no longer have J-Ax to advise you the word In the silence of the night the heart beats hard in the throat For fear of beatings, of love met at school You don't need Jovanotti, Mannoia or Vasco Rossi Just take four steps into the mechanics of the heart The mechanics of the heart the mechanics of the heart the mechanics of the heart
