Kozmic Blues
Janis Joplin Lyrics

Time keeps moving on
Life goes on and time doesn't stop for anyone

Friends they turn away
Even close friends may abandon you in tough times

I keep moving on
I continue on with my life despite these losses

But I never found out why
I am unsure of the reasons for these events

I keep pushing too hard and babe
I sometimes try too hard to make things right

I keep trying to make it right
I try to fix issues that may be beyond my control

Through another lonely day, ooh-whoa
I continue to face struggles and loneliness despite my efforts

Dawn has come at last
A new day has begun

Twenty-five years, honey, just one night, oh yeah
The passage of time can feel sudden and unnatural

Well, I'm twenty-five years older now
I have aged and matured since the previous events

So I know it can't be right
Reflecting on the past, I now see things that were not right

And I'm no better, babe, and I can't help you no more
Despite growing older, I am not necessarily wiser or more capable of fixing things

Than I did when just a girl
I haven't necessarily made progress in solving problems since my youth

Oh, but it don't make no difference babe, no, no
Regardless of my growth and maturity, certain issues may still persist

And I know that I could always try
Nevertheless, I will continue to make an effort

It don't make no difference, babe, yeah
Other problems may arise that are out of my control

I better hold it now
Therefore, I should cherish the things I have now

I better need it, yeah
I should focus on and prioritize what is important in my life

I better use it 'til the day I die, whoa
I should make the most of my time and resources while I can

Don't expect any answers, dear
There may not always be clear explanations or solutions to life's struggles

For I know that they don't come with age, no, no
Growing older doesn't necessarily mean that one gains broad wisdom or insight

I ain't never gonna love you any better, babe
I may not always be able to improve in my relationships with others

And I'm never gonna love you right
I may not always express love in the ideal way

So you better take it now, right now, oh
Therefore, others should cherish my love while it is available

Well, there's a fire inside of every one of us
We all have potential and passion within us

You better need it now
We should recognize and prioritize this inner drive

I get to hold it, yeah
We can harness our inner fire and use it to our advantage

I better use it 'til the day I die
We should make the most of our potential throughout our lives

And it never ever will, eh
Certain issues or struggles may never be fully resolved

I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah
I want to emphasize the importance of love

Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one
I wouldn't want to be responsible for any harm or neglect in a relationship

I said you're gonna live your life
Everyone has their own path in life

And you better love your life
Therefore, it's crucial to find joy and happiness in one's own life

Oh, babe, someday you're gonna have to cry
But it's also natural to experience sadness and heartache along the way

Yes, indeed, yes, indeed, yes, indeed
This is an inevitable part of life

I said you, they're always gonna hurt you
People may cause pain or harm intentionally or unintentionally

I said they're always gonna let you down
Others may disappoint or fail us at times

I said everywhere, every day, every day
These challenges and disappointments are a constant presence in everyday life

And every way, every way
They may manifest in various ways and situations

Oh, honey, won't you hold on to what's gonna move
Therefore, it's important to find and hold onto what brings joy or meaning

I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back
But these sources of joy or meaning may be fleeting

I said you know it ain't gonna be there
We should enjoy and appreciate what we have while it lasts

When you wanna reach out and grab on
Especially when we need it most

Whoa, babe
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Oh, but keep truckin' on
Nevertheless, we should persevere and continue moving forward

Whoa, yeah
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Whoa, yeah
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Whoa, yeah
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Whoa
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Whoa
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Whoa
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning

Whoa
Expresses emotion or passion without conveying specific meaning
