I saw my compatriots walking at nightfall
Soccer games blaring from every cafe
It’s amazing how life can go somehow unnoticed
Somehow so loud it rattles your brain
My eye is digesting the infinite parcels
Beauty and ugliness, matter and light
Oh saint oh sinner
Oh ancient beginner
Oh trembling river of life!
{verse
The neighbor above me is slamming his windows
Insults pour off me likе peppercorn rain
I’ll answer him latеr, return the favor
When I have perfect Parisian disdain
The city is whistling biting its fingersw
Bellies are full of the same butterflies
Countdown the seconds in 25 languages
Oh the millions of eyes!
Forgive me sir
I know not the magic words
Is it the fever first?
And then the fire?
Forgive me sir
I know not the magic words
Is it the fever first?
And then the fire
Forgive me sir
I know not the magic words
Is it the fever first
And then the fire?
I know not the magic words
Is it the fever first
And then the fire?
And then the fire!
