I go to extremes - Billy Joel

He aquí la canción rockera de un ídolo inteligente: antes de repetirse y autodestruirse, mejor controlarse y conservar la leyenda. Arte por encima de ego y de dinero.
Aunque debo reconocer que no he sabido mucho de el en los últimos años, salvo algún drama alcohólico... pero sigue siendo el rey del pop, un tecladista de puta madre y un gran entertainer. Prefiero no mirarlo viejo, gordo y calvo, mejor solo escucharlo y disfrutarlo.
Y por otro lado... quisiera tener la dignidad de cuidar mi futuro así, de no seguir viviendo en los extremos, o de darme cuenta a tiempo. Saber anticiparme a la canción y tratar de ser-estar mejor.
Cuida lo que tienes, hasta que no lo tengas más.

Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight

Darling I don't know why I got to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I got to extremes

Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I got to extremes

Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?

And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
