NOTHING WRONG

Nothing...
Nothing wrong,
I guess I like foolish...
Situations.
Nothing wrong,
'just want to let go...
No direction!
Feeling, swaying slow,
Just before giving up for real,
I want to know.

What if you touch me.
I think I'll slide into your mind.
What if you touch me.
I think I'll infuse in your sighs.
Don't you refrain for me.
Oh...
What if you touch me...
I aim' you!

Nothing...
Nothing wrong,
I guess I like foolish...
Situations!
Sustain,
Contain the fall
of words denying sensés...
Being plain, plainly a fool.
Playing,
Acting rules just not the way if should.
Reverse our codes.

What if you touch me.
I think I'll slide into your mind.
What if you touch me.
I think I'll infuse in your sighs.
Don't you refrain for me.
Oh...
What if you touch me...
I scare you!

What if you touch me.
I think I'll slide into your mind...


THE HOURS ON THE FIELDS

When I met you that day,
You told me not see you,
So I passed my way,
but will you dare to be... soon.

Behind that screen of sun light,
I swear I felt you alive,
I held my breath 'til you pull back.

Sing for me that strange softness.
Dance in me,
words dropped out of my lips
with no sense.
Delete my thoughts,
count down my fears
as the wind blows the hour on the fields.

The moment I saw you,
I made you still.
I try not to believe in you,
Dear 'cause you're not real.

Behind that flare of your kind,
is there a place
I can find to lay down my hopes before I die...

Sing for me that strange softness.
Dance in me,
words dropped out of my lips
with no sense.
Delete my thoughts,
count down my fears
as the wind blows the hour on the fields...


L'ABSOLU

Un destrier battu...
Ecume dans la plaine.
Il va, il ne sait plus...
Contre ses flancs de peines lasses,
flottent ses rênes...
Flottent ses rênes...
Grisé n'a pas pu sage...

Ô tant de dévotion!
Il étire ses rouages...
Jusqu'à la déraison...
Ô las, si las.

Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent du soir.
Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent.

Mon destrier battu...
Nous étions fiers, alors...
Inconscients, orgueilleux...
Et nours braviions la mort...
La mort...

Sentirai-je demain...
Ta charpente anguleuse...
Faire chavier mes reins...
Par les sentes poudreuses...
Ô toi! Ô toi!

Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent du soir.
Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent.

Sémaphore sulfureux...
Eclair' ma nuit, la moire...
De tes flancs bleus...
C'est l'Epoir...
Ô toi! Ô toi!
'Tu es mon cheval noir.
J'étais ton serpent jaune"

Siffle le vent...
Et siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent du soir.
Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent.

Mon destrier battu...
Je t'aimais bien sauvage.
A dompter l'inconnu...
Ai-je perdu ton sillage?
Ton sillage.
Grisée, et comme en rage...
Je quêtais l'absolu...
Naufrage.

Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent du soir.
Et siffle...
Siffle le vent...
Siffle le vent du soir...


REPTILE

Like a reptile...
She change her skin.
She beats up egos...
Vanish her spleen...

Like a reptile...
Devours and screams.
She acts the anger.
Do I know her?

Kiss me mellow,
Swallow my veins.
Entwined our bliss...
Before the pains.

Divine embrace.
Hou!! Radical!
What should I face?
How should I fall?
I hold back caresses.
How critical!
Should we confess.
What we die for?

Kiss me mellow,
Swallow my veins.
Entwined our bliss...
Before the pains.
Kiss me mellow,
Follow the rains...
Entwined our bliss...
Before the pains.

Kiss me mellow,
Swallow my veins.
Entwined our bliss...
Before the pains.

There...
Just where the fire starts.
Touched the silent...
Immaculate...
The rose and somber...
Dash...

Kiss me mellow,
Swallow my veins.
Entwined our bliss...
Before the pains.
Kiss me mellow,
Follow the rains...
Entwined our bliss...
Before the pains...

WHITE SAIL

Feeling you're exposed and invisible.
Feeling you're speechless and invincible.
'Look like you're affected...effete.
Walking like a rainbow... to her fib.

Feeling you're revealed and insensible.
Feeling you're insane, intelligible.
'Look like you're delighted, indeed.
Walking like a dread king...On your knees.

Houou! Watch her sail by...
Houou! Watch her sail by.

Feeling you're hum...unpredictable.
I'm watching you providing and unflexible.
'Look like you're affected...effete.
Swirling like a fair dream and concret.

Houou! Watch her sail by...
Houou! Watch her sail by.
Houou! Beauty's like a white sail...
Houou! Beauty's wild and frail.

Transparent when you believe.
Smooth for you to lean on.
Arrogant when you resist.
Who's trying to turn you on.

Feeling you're revealed and insensible.

MY SOUL

My soul I drowned.
Thy tears to taste.
Their lapping sound.
My mounts now taste...
Trusting...
Your heart to other lights...

But you're trying...
But you're trying...
If you want to run...
That's alright with me.
Your mettle made us yield...
Mine will set you free...
If you want to run.
Don't look back baby.
Ô you want to run away...
I'll survive, I'll be fine...

My soul I fold...
To thy evil eyes...
Thy lies to hold.
My mounts now ride.
My soul's bereft...(trusting).
Of thy body's depth...
It's...(your heart to other lights)
Just your point of view...

But you're trying...
But you're trying...
If you want to run...
That's alright with me.
Your mettle made us yield...
Mine will set you free...
If you want to run.
Don't look back baby.
Ô you want to run away...
I'll survive, I'll be fine...


SUR L'EAU

Va mon amour, ma fiamme,
Va porté par les flots...même,
Si ma raison s'égare...
A l'ombre des roseaux,
Je t'aimerai...
Quand même.

Oh! Va, vogue vague à l'âme.
Va, mon amour prend l'eau.
Dieu seul sait s'il nous garde.
Moi je garde tes mots:
"Je t'aimerai... Quand même."
Oh!

C'est un fétu de paille,
Un petit nid sur l'eau,
Deux roses eb bataille et
Giroflées à vau l'eau.
Là pour fin je dépose,
Si j'ose,
J'expose...
Nous deux...
Adieu!

Tous dénudés de larmes...
la Petite barge à flots, frêle...
Emporte nos alarmes...
Et nos plus beaux assauts...
S'éloigne...
Sereine.
Oh!

C'est un fetú de palille,
Un petit nid sur l'eau,
Deux roses eb bataille et
Giroflées à vau l'eau.
Là pour fin je dépose,
Si j'ose,
J'expose...
Nous deux...

J'ai cru voir l'aile blanche...
S'élève la vague et penche...
Mon tout petit vaisseau...
S'échoue là sur le dos.
J'ai senti comme en rêve,
Quand en vain on y pense...
Ton baiser sur mes lèvres...
Intense...

LA PROMENADE DE SAN

Je marche à reculons...
Sur un tapis décousu.
Mes jambes, des billes de plomb...
S'déroulent à la déconvenue.
J'ai perdu l'fill de l'histoire...
Depuis qu'j'ai perdu ta raison.
Alors, j'déroule du trottoir,
Un réverbère, l'égout d'la ville, l'horizon.

Si tu me croises au coin d'une rue...
Attends! Attends!
Si tu savais comme j'ai couru.
Tout le temps...
Si tu me croises au coin d'une rue...
Attends, attends...

J'enrage même plus, c'est pas normal!
Tout l'mal qu'on s'est conçu...
C'est du banal, du déjà vu,
(Y a pas d'quoi tuer un c'val)
j'en veux plus!
J'ai perdu la mémoire...
D'avant le noir, le grand fond.
Tout mon passé dérisoire, oté de toi, tourne en rond.

Si tu me croises au coin d'une rue...
Attends! Attends!
Si tu savais comme j'ai couru.
Tout le temps...
Si tu me croises au coin d'une rue...
Attends, (si tu me croises) attends...

Infiniment, j'ai foutu...
Tous mes beaux songes en impromptus,
Dans les gares de triages.

Si tu m'y croises.
Si tu me croises au coin d'une rue...
Attends! Attends!
Si tu savais comme j'ai couru.
Tout le temps...
Si tu me croises au coin d'une rue...
Attends, (si tu me croises) attends...

J'aimerai alors qu'ce soit la fin... du film,
Et qu'on nous laisse pour de bon,
Enlacés de délices...
Félon!
Retrouver un mobile,
Juste le temps d'une saison,
Un jour, une heure, une vie.
Légère et colorée...
Comme un paquet d'bonbons.


JEALOUSLY YOURS

Across the ocean.
I fly away...
While I watch your shore.
Fading...
I swear...
The taste of your lips,
The sound of your words,
seems to vanish (vanish).
Out of my world...

Jealously yours,
I'm climbing that Hell.
The I realize,
I'm not sure of your spell...
Anymore...
It kill my reason...
To understand,
Your not mine,
I'm not yours...
I'm back on my bones again.

Craving Island.
Ô desolate,
While I still search for your skin,
I'm facing my fate.
Oh tell me mama.
Is there a place,
A resilient Harbour...
To lay...

Jealously yours,
I'm climbing that Hell.
The I realize,
I'm not sure of your spell...
Anymore...
It kill my reason...
To understand,
Your not mine,
I'm not yours...
I'm back on my bones again.

These amulets...
Speak in my hands...
If I drag, only deep in my head.
Oh I love you mama...
For your strength.
Do we know what we fear?

Jealously yours,
I'm climbing that Hell.
The I realize,
I'm not sure of your spell...
Anymore...
It kill my reason...
To understand,
Your not mine,
I'm not yours...
I'm back on my bones again.
