[Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Do Things That Are Delighful To You lyrics]
Have it, to impart delight
You have to be more or less delightful
And to be delightful is not some factor of
Trying to make yourself look delightful
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
That's to say people who are interesting
Are people who are interested
Any person for example who
Is constantly thinking about
All sorts of other things, and other people
And so on because they're fascinating
Becomes a fascinating person
But a person who doesn't
Think about anybody else, and
Who's got very little going
On inside their skull, is boring
So, in other words your engagement with the
External world the more you are involved
The more your personality is enriched
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
But if you try to enrich your personality
By taking a course in how
To win friends and influence people, or
How to be a real person
You'll become just a washout
You'll be like somebody trying
To get good nutrition
By biting his nails, and then fingers next
And then half an arm gone and so on
You're entirely nourishing yourself
With yourself now of course on a vast
Scale, the universe does that
It eats it'self up that's why the symbol of
The snake swallowing it's
Tail is a fundamental archaic symbol of life
But, the way it's done is that the snake
Has in some part of the ring
A place where it's not
Sensitive for the unconscious
Where it doesn't know that what comes
To it in the form of
Food is actually what left it
In the form of excrement
That thing is, don't mention it
After all as the lord said at
The beginning of the universe
"You must draw the line somewhere"
It is to do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
It is do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
Do things that are delightful to you
You become thereby delightful to others
