With a smile like a rocketlauncher you blew me to smithereens I slowly put the pieces back together but nothing is the way it used to be If my life is like a kind of jigsaw I may have lost some bits beneath your bed It doesn't mean I can't see the big picture but the devil's in the details, as you said See if you can guess just what I mean See if you can guess just what I mean With a smile like a rocketlauncher you blew me to smithereens I slowly put the pieces back together but nothing is the way it used to be the way it used to be See if you can guess just what I mean See if you can guess just what I mean

Your hands Carry a beautiful softness Along the coast with you Along the coast with you Exhausted, I walk next to you Are we nearly where we're going yet? Are we nearly where we're going yet? Your lines fell across mine On a trip made up of laughter On a trip made up of light Who can enjoy the moment when everything comes to an end one day? This is the challenge being happy here and now Your hands Carry beautiful softness Along the coast with you Along the coast with you Exhausted, I walk behind you I admire your silhouette I admire your silhouette Who can enjoy the moment When everything comes to an end one day? We both know this is the challenge Being happy here and now

I wish I could appreciate a work of art I always have to get real close, and tear it apart I just can’t believe in beauty so true I need to find, some fault in you Well I had the David, but I threw him away Said his head was too big and his skin was too hard I rather shut him out right from the start Than risk being left with another broken heart I couldn’t see the beauty in his faults so caught up with imperfections I couldn’t see his affections here was beauty in his faults But I let him slip away Cause I was too afraid I’ve always found it easier to pick up and run So you would’nt end up as a prize I hadn’t won So if I back out first, and close the door You’d be the one who's left wanting more I couldn’t see the beauty in his faults so caught up with imperfections I couldn’t see his affections here was beauty in his faults But I let him slip away Cause I was too afraid You were a good man and true And I made a fool out of you I’ve never been one to wear my heart on my sleeve But, please, please come back to me

Your face is like thunder A murder of crows You're a storm cloud about to explode I want to ask What I did wrong I know to leave Well alone And hope it wasn't me, it wasn't me I hope it wasn't me, it wasn't me Your face is like thunder A murder of crows You're a storm cloud About to explode. I want to ask what I did wrong I know to leave well alone And hope it wasn't me, it wasn't me I hope it wasn't me, it wasn't me I'll leave you in the corner With your nose in a book, Leave you there to fume And hope it wasn't me. I hope it wasn't me...

Tokyo 04:30
You’re fantasizing about your life I prefer to live mine You’re fantasizing about your life I thought I could trust you I’ve got to face the truth The truth just lasts a certain time I feel like I’m in Tokyo Even though didn’t go I feel like I’m in Tokyo I thought I could swim through This ocean of fools But I might be one of them Swept away in the crowd I can imagine myself There at the crossing with an umbrella Like in all those movies I’ve seen too many movies Walking through the lights I feel like I’m in Tokyo Even though I didn’t go I feel like I’m in Tokyo

S'Attacher 03:42
Un mois d’avril, une brise tranquille dans un pays étranger - la légèreté Tes yeux me percent, tes rires me bercent Ton insouciance, ton ignorance, cette arme Il ne faut pas s’attacher Pour ne pas chavirer Tel du bois sur les flots Se laisser emporter Si on finit par s'en aller À quoi bon s'amarrer ? Mais tu sais, un bâteau Parfois reste ancré Ne serait-ce que pour une nuit Appelons-le par son nom, appelons-le comme tu le sens Ne serait-ce que pour une nuit Je veux un peu de calme à bord Un mois d’avril, le soleil filtre Dans un pays étranger, cette légèreté Indifférente, tes mots me blessent Ton insouciance, ton ignorance, cette liberté Il ne faut pas s’attacher pour ne pas chavirer Tel du bois sur les flots Se laisser emporter Si on finit par s'en aller À quoi bon s'amarrer ? Mais tu sais, un bâteau Parfois reste ancré Ne serait-ce que pour une nuit Appelons-le par son nom, appelons-le comme tu le sens Ne serait-ce que pour une nuit Je veux un peu de calme à bord

Cils 03:08
Je ne sais pas Je ne sais pas Ce que je fais Ce que tu fais là Comment arrivent donc ces choses là En une nuit Je ressuscite Tu es si belle Ainsi lascive Au ralenti Nos corps s’animent C’est enivrant Comme hors du temps L’ivresse des heures Où l’on s’effleure C’est bon c’est doux C’est bon c’est doux C’est bon c’est doux C’est tout Les draps se froissent Des dunes de sable Nos corps se lâchent La peau se tâche La nuit est blanche Une avalanche de bleus intense de rouges sang On ne se connaît pas Je ne me lasse pas De ces yeux là Espiègles sur moi Echange de fluides Sueurs exquises De toi à moi C’est bon c’est doux C’est bon c’est doux C’est bon c’est doux C’est tout Une forêt Une montagne Un chemin vierge De la route à faire Troquer les murs Changer de vue Un battement Juste un instant

My arms are heavy My dark eyes getting deeper Balancing helplessly, balancing helplessly I stagger under the weight Under the weight of what I am What I’m becoming, what I’m becoming I am lying, rolling and crawling Rolling all over again Trying to find a shelter in the bushes in Szechwan Behind the trees of the Himalaya Under the eternal rains of deserted cities Where we meet our destiny Weakly, on my own, I rise my boneless body And observe myself, and observe myself clearly In the reflection of someone else’s dream And someone else’s nights become my nights Someone else’s hands caress my hands Am I dreaming or is your body still hanging on my back Teasing me and turning me inside out With a nervous twitch I collapse Insecure and afraid I keep on tripping over I should collect myself and continue Haunted by the insipid smell of gasoline I’m desperately seeking what I once found In a dull sound of my shapeless cat-legged body Feeling like the panda

Who Knows? 05:19
Walking on the streets I can see Walking on the streets I can see There’re no more smiles on people They don’t know what it means They forgot it all about it they forgot it all about it Who knows what happened here? Who knows what happened here? I can’t grasp it I can’t understand it I can’t grasp it I can’t understand it Who knows what happened here? There’s a woman down the valley Her eyes are closed cause she worries The little man that she carries Gives her a smile That she won’t see She gazes at the sky through the green hills Closing her eyes cause she’s lonely Her memories feel so shaky Just at her side Death is speaking Refrain There’s an old man down the valley Watching the child, he feels lonely Cause once this country was so crazy The blood of his sons on the city There’s a young child down the valley He’s laughing alive runs the city Closing his eyes he feels happy Cause only god knows where he’s hiding Who knows what happened here?

There is a question in your eyes I feel the answer in mine There is a question in my eyes I see the answer in yours Infinite silence Depth in Tales (without speaking) Learning when stars align As if the mirror could reflect A world of enchantment within You live from your side, I from mine A world of walking mirrors, collide Fingers in painting Follow no line Fantasy breaking it's Undone and so alive Undone and so alive Tell me today what is true Tell me tomorrow another Tell me today what is true Tell me tomorrow another I see us dancing in harmony Won't it be like this forever ? Won't it be like this ?
