lyrics

I like to read William Faulkner in French
And think about friends and blunders and stuff
I like to sit and do nothing on a bench
And hang a bit to the closest branch
Watch the Thai Chi training at length
The old ladies and the students

Sun over my city
I feel bullied by its beams
Sun over my city
I feel a heal in this gleam

A man decides to take his chance
But she turns a blind eye to this latest offense
I know where my place is so I just glance
I enjoy the peace and the breeze of romance
I take a quick look over the fence
To check out the wolves in their pens
I open my book but watch the monkeys dance
Rather than read about history of France

…

I head to the planetarium
But hunger and need break my momentum
I buy candy and a piece of gum
That trigger greed in a local bum
To let me know he whistles and hums
He’ll take what I give him he won’t turn it down
But he'll keep it stored in his strange museum
Although it’s not as good as a bottle of rum

…

I ask him my way to go back home
He says: “You know what? All roads lead to Rome”
With this precious advice and all certainties gone
I follow the tracks, and I follow the foam

...

Sand over my city
