Center of Gravity

An old woman from Madrid with a hat,
An umbrella of rice paper and bamboo cane.
Brave captains, ready nocturnal smugglers.
Jesuits in action dressed like bonzes
in ancient courts with Ming dynasty emperors
I look for a permanent center of gravity
that doesn't change what I think about things, about people,
I need a... I look for a permanent center of gravity
that never changes my mind about things, about people.
Over and over again.
It was May in the streets and we walked together
cutting bundles of nettles amidst jokes.
I can't stand certain trends,
the fake rock music, the Spanish new wave,
the free jazz, English punk, or the African drivel.
I look for a permanent center of gravity,
that doesn't change what I think about things, about people,
I need a...
I look for a permanent center of gravity
that never changes my mind about things, about people.
Over and over again.
