Instead of pouring in more better stop while you can
making it sharper won't help it last longer
houses full of treasure can never be safe
the vanity of success invites its own failure
retire when your work is done this is the Way of Heaven

I'm Just A Hop Head:
Moondog (H'art songs 1979)

Im just a hop head
And so i'll be til Im dead
I started hopping
When first I hopped into bed
I took up hop scotch
Which had me hopping all day
But that was kid stuff
And soon I put it away
I took up fishing
And when the river was low
I took to hopping
From stump to stump it shall know
As I grew older
I took up sailing at sea
Went island hopping
A navigational spree
Im now a spaceman
My flyin saucer is fast
Tho slow in coming
I'm planet hopping at last
I reached my limit
No other worlds to be won
Im so unhappy
I wish I never begun
