First Things First

first things first
because the singing is the song
because the feeling is gone
because the days are too long

first things first
because my hair is on fire
because the bird on the wire
because the heart's desire

first things first
because you're lovin' what you see
because you're sitting next to me
because you're turning 33

first things first
when you've run out of time
when you're searching for a rhyme
when you're drunk and I'm high
