Calma Calma Lyrics - Singles - Icicle

I met a man who told me how to measure 

All the precious treasure we enjoy 

Each and every day 

Each and every day 

He told me "Hey, young fellow with the smart sombrero 

Running through the yellow, don't you ever forget 

Life's a holiday 

Celebrate It" 

And on the other side there's a fine magician 

Juggling, shuffling, yearning recognition 

Will it ever come? 

Will it ever come? 

Sometimes you throw just once and get the double sixes 

And other times you reach the end of the line (and) 

Throw it all away 

Throw it all away 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

No matter how important or demanding 

All of these things are anchors on our ankles 

What've we become? 

What've we become? 

How many times I see me pass right by me 

Coming and going but where is it at? 

Come and have a look 

Come and have a look 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

And every time I feel condescending 

Full of pride and arrogance, oh so trendy 

I shut my mouth and bite my tongue 

Instead I power up and grab a microphone 

I got my record player spinning Joy Devision 

Turn my back to my big mother fucking television 

It shakes me up and sets me straight 

Crocodile Dundee is no longer my mate 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Calma, calma
