It’ s morning and he’s lying on his brand new bed But there’s no roof above his head It’s just another day he has to walk around He wishes for a meal to be found He finds the right place and waits in the line Thinks ‘bout the days when he was fine The line is huge, he has a doubt he’ll have his share To starve again would be unfair Just think that this poor fellow could be one of us That we don’t look around and spend our lives in rush And feel annoyed by his smell Think we know him well From the star in which we dwell He’s heading to the park to find a bench He hopes to meet some of his friends A couple hours later he’s had enough Next stop of his ramble is a public bath It’s evening and he’s strolling through the mall To seem normal is his goal This vapid day is not about to end But he’s about to built another brand new bed Just think that this poor fellow could be one of us That we don’t look around and spend our lives in rush And feel annoyed by his smell Think we know him well From the star in which we dwell The sound of his name is fading away He tries to recall… who was Raymond Ray….. Just think that this poor fellow could be one of us That we don’t look around and spend our lives in rush And feel annoyed by his smell Think we know him well From the star in which we dwell

This is my only sin babe That I’m in love with all my heart With a strange pussy-cat She is……Marianne Loup! She always has a crab-smile Her nose souffle like exhaust Her teeth tremble like a dog’s She is……Marianne Loup! Call her! I want her only for a smile A little scratching in my mind Make me! Marianne Loup! Find her! I wanna dream with her eyes Dance in other side Play me! Marianne Loup! Who is the best player in Michigan, I am But who is the best player in Michigan...? Who is the best player in Michigan, I am But who is the best player in Michigan...? We are the best players in Michigan We are the best players in Michigan We are the best players in Michigan We are the... This is my only wish babe To spend a night avec toi To make my thoughts imaginaires Whisper! Marianne Loup! Let her! I want her running through my veins I wanna feel intoxicated Take me! Together with you! Dancing! We’ll cross the bridge together babe We’ll meet the sun that always shines Take me! Together with you! Dress me! This is my last repertoire Between the tiers of the past Kill me! Marianne Loup! Kill me! Marianne Loup!

Incorporeal 03:39
Just pretending not to care I keep walking through the air ‘till I crash into your breathtaking face My feet hit suddenly the ground My heart falls in my stomach with a sound And I stay still, quietly considering the case Is it because I carry you always with me? Or some god wants to remind me of my mistakes Is it because your smell was poured all over me? And I feel drunk each time I wonder what it takes to be alive I wouldn’t see you anymore Since I’ve seen you pass the invisible door But you appeared in my eyes shocking slightly my mind You were standing in a frame You asked insidiously my name And I smiled to your owner but I noticed he was blind Is it because I carry you always with me? Or some god wants to remind me of my mistakes Is it because your smell was poured all over me? And I feel drunk each time I wonder what it takes to be alive It’s been a thousand years since you’ve gone And for a thousand years I go on Looking for an endless road to get me there You thought that I would come there too In your incorporeal world for two ‘cause that would be the perfect end for our divine affair Is it because I carry you always with me? Or some god wants to remind me of my mistakes Is it because your smell was poured all over me? And I feel drunk each time I wonder what it takes...

Even Worse 04:33
I close my windows every morning The curtains of my tiny room have always been black Since I was born I’ve been in a state of mourning I push the light of sun away, I never want it back People keep describing me as gloomy They think there is a problem in my mind and heart I’m just a pretty, healthy, normal girl, poor me So why do I try so hard to keep my soul and life apart? I’m not as weird as you think, I’ m even worse! I carry on my back the biggest guilt, just like a horse The guilt of being human, not a spot Of feeling different than you all, while I’m not! My lovely little home is almost naked There’s just a huge red pillow to keep it in my lap There was a mirror too, but I decided to break it Instead of watching me I find it easier to watch the coffee grains in my cup Perhaps I wasn’t meant to change the world, but who is? Who would negotiate their life more definitely than me? Who would be ashamed enough and blame themself for all this? And this person who says I’m useless; could it be that this person is me...? I’m not as weird as you think, I’ m even worse! I carry on my back the biggest guilt, just like a horse The guilt of being human, not a spot Of feeling different than you all, while I’m not!

Anticipating 03:39
Anticipating that something Boring pace I feel collapsed all over the place Trying to figure out the cause Your look was promising me something I had to know How far my ego was ready to go Should I resist or should I fall? Tempt me just a little more My mind is craving the art of sensation Leave me lying on the floor My heart is longing for some desperation Making room for my new romance Love and fear Here is my hunt for a blossoming tear My senses force me to let go My mood was never so peculiar Heat and cold My morals struggle to be sold Tempt me just a little more My mind is craving the art of sensation Leave me lying on the floor My heart is longing for some desperation

Buy Me 04:04
Sitting by the window Looking at the wall Trying to console myself Orange on my curtains Purple on my floor Impossible to think of something else And I see through the wall The net that stops my fall Your fingers grab my heart But you don’t have it all… You have to buy me Oh, baby just buy me I want you to try, try, try, try, try to buy me Waiting for your signal Fighting against the door I fall in love with my worst fear All you need to have me Is to give a little more More than just your breath in my ear And I see through the wall The net that stops my fall Your fingers grab my heart But you don’t have it all… You have to buy me Oh, baby just buy me I want you to try, try, try, try, try to buy me

Now I'm coming back With memories of you Your face and your voice alive Reflect only truth In front of your photo I share only fears Blank pages of a book Written with tears Flowers decorating you Remind me of truth In front of your new home I bring only pain I hear you, I hear you A voice from the past For moments and memories I give a cry I hear you, I hear you Like a sphere in the sky Rolling and rolling Return upon me Now I'm coming back With memories of you Your face and your voice alive Reflect only truth In front of your photo I share only fears I hear you, I hear you A voice from the grave For moments and memories I give all my thoughts I hear you, I hear you Like a sphere in the sky Rolling and taking me Up to the sky Now I'm coming back together with you An eternal valse, invite me to dance Like a sphere in the sky Together we die And roll

She wakes up in the morning unable to speak Her breath evaporates the life she’s chosen The words she tries to swallow are still too thick But soon her throat will be wide open Growing old and getting tired was a piece of cake Resisting to herself was a huge mistake She lives where she stands, forgets the rest She loved the East but she went West Don’t be overwhelmed(Keep safe your pride) Your dreams were false, your eyes were blind (Then look inside) But you were given miles to walk (What for and why) ( ) Miles to live and miles to die (As years go by...) Pretend you’re brave, you’re strong Prepare yourself to say goodbye... She feels uninspired, she fights in vain She starts to understand that kind of freedom It seems to be a pleasure, not a pain She doesn’t have to build another kingdom Growing old and letting go is not a piece of cake Trying to stop the time is a huge mistake She lives where she stands, forgets the rest She reaches East by heading West... Don’t be overwhelmed(Keep safe your pride) Your dreams were false, your eyes were blind (Then look inside) But you were given miles to walk (What for and why?) ( ) Miles to live and miles to die (As years go by...) Pretend you’re brave, you’re strong Prepare yourself to say goodbye...

This is the most amazing sequence of scenes Looks like a silent movie, directed by the speed Everything is spread out there dreadfully close, but doesn’t last Every little moment belongs - already - in the past While travelling so fast, the world is nothing but a blur Yet the colors through the window frame have never been so bright The meadows glow a shiny green, under a sun that’s bloody red And after dark the deep blue shadows come to life But the road is so much longer, and this train will never stop And the landscape will be always left behind While travelling so fast, the world is nothing but a blur Yet the colors through the window frame have never been so bright The meadows glow a shiny green, under a sun that’s bloody red And after dark the deep blue shadows come to life But the road is so much longer, and this train will never stop And the landscape will be always left behind
