Alwaysgetintocars, start theengine, Andifit'swinter, waituntil itwarms up. Alwaysspendmoney, butsparingly, Andonlyonceina whilespendeverything you'vegot. Insummer itwillbesummer; infallitwillbefall, Don'tgetflustered; don'tdo anything that disgusts you. Girls willbecomeyoung women, andthen you'llnotice them Crossing thestreet holding little kids'hands. Menwillsomberly weightheoptions Butthen actaccording tocircumstances, often making mistakes. Governments aremadetofall; Ships- toglidebeneath bridges. Allthesame,thelights ontheother sideoftheriver Willnever - imagine that - never goout. Still, ifthey do,packyour bagOnlytheessentials - andleavethecity immediately. Whenyouarrive ina newplace,lookaround, leanagainst a tree; Youcanlight up- ifyousmoke - standaround, think.
