Life, after all, bargains in every fight

Verse 1:

Tell me, for whom does she do everything with delight?

Life, after all, bargains in every fight.

Chorus:

Children insist only on stars so bright

Grown-ups make peace with fireflies at night

Ask for a kilo — she gives a quarter, that's her way

Life, after all, bargains in every sideways sway.

---

Verse 2:

Ask for too much — she gives less and less

One bandage for four wounds, she will bless

A scratch she stretches till it's a deep scar

Life, after all, bargains near and far.

Chorus:

Children insist only on stars so bright

Grown-ups make peace with fireflies at night

Ask for a kilo — she gives a quarter, that's her way

Life, after all, bargains in every sideways sway.

---

Verse 3:

At first, hearts attach for free anywhere

Every pleasure later comes with a bill to bear

She repeats the world till you're bored to death

Life, after all, bargains with every breath.

Chorus:

Children insist only on stars so bright

Grown-ups make peace with fireflies at night

Ask for a kilo — she gives a quarter, that's her way

Life, after all, bargains in every sideways sway.

---

Verse 4:

Where to go, where to stop — who knows the plan

Where to bend, where to break — nobody can

A rest stop becomes the goal, the goal becomes a pause

Life, after all, bargains without a cause.

---

Outro:

Tell me, for whom does she do everything with delight?

Life, after all, bargains in every fight.
