Shine A Signal
As you stare into
The open mouth of the world
I was trying to reach you all evening
But there’s still so much to learn
I tried to leave you behind
So many times but I return
Then the big moon rose up high and wild
And I am weak as a wave
Forever breaking on your shore
Wherever you are
I shine a signal
Whoever you are
I send a call
Mmmmmm
This is the end and the
Beginning and it’s time that is
Collapsing as you’re spinning out
To join the other planets
And your gravity pull
And your sunrise arms are waving now
And I cast it to the sky
I don’t ask why anymore
The mystery grows every day
Wherever you are
I shine a signal
Whoever you are
I send a call
I need you all the time
All the time
Wherever you are
I shine a signal
Whoever you are
I send a call

New Path

New Path
I took a new path it was discovered
Just as the city got still
When the evening had risen
To cover up the hill
There were briars
There was the blackbird’s song
Carried by a single breeze
There was a Spanish girl
She smiled and pointed
to the beginning of the trees
So many questions
Left unanswered
So many lives still left for us to lead
But I’ll meet you
Down that new path
In which the whole world bleeds
Well, there’s a sound of sirens
Coming for to carry me home
A thousand windows are wide open
But, of course, I must confront this thing alone
I am empty, I am the sky itself
I am hungry for those hidden parts of you
My face is changing; I am chasing
Whatever they’ve done with the truth
So many questions
Left unanswered
So many lives still left for us to lead
But I’ll meet you
Down that new path
In which the whole world bleeds
Will I see you there?
It’s only a matter of time
Does time even exist anymore?
Well, the bells still ring
The bloody moon’s still got wings
The carnations are opening
Their bodies up for spring
I see you’re
Glowing at the edge of my dreams
Yeah, you’re glowing at the edge of my dreams
Somewhere a baby takes its first breath
Somewhere a dying man breathes his last
And i’ve lifted every shadow
To which my frame’s ever been attached
Everything is somehow fluid
We float. We defy the Law.
Now, I’m flying, now, I’m dying
But nothing matters. I’m stepping out the door
So many questions
Left unanswered
So many lives still left for us to lead
But I’ll meet you
Down that new path
In which the whole world bleeds

Elle broie
Le dimanche
La voisine broie
Et toi tu crois
Qu’elle ne broie pas
Les jours sans toi
Le dimanche
Ce dimanche
La voisine broie
Et j’écoute ça
Seul avec moi
T’en étonne pas
Ce dimanche
Mais pour le moment
À cet instant
Un dimanche
La voisine broie
Encore une fois
Seul mon témoignage
Fera foi
Du dimanche
Les dimanches
La voisine broie
Et moi je vois
Le noir du toit
Restons-en là
Aux dimanches
Y’a-t-il le choix
Aux dimanches
Mais pour le moment
À cet instant
Moi j’ai la fièvre et je t’attends
Moi j’ai la fièvre et je t’attends

I Let You Go

I Let You Go
Your house being the last
Before the infinite
Your body being the last
Body I’ve known
I’ve known them well
I’ve held them close
I let them go
I’ve known them well
I’ve held them close
I let them go
I stumbled out of my bed
Into another day
Remembering what you had said
A long time ago
I’ve known you well
I’ve held you close
I let you go
I’ve known you well
I’ve held you close
I let you go
Drink coffee out on the porch
Scroll through the endless news
In Paris you’re still fast asleep
This much I know
I know you well
I held you close
I let you go
I know you well
I held you close
I let you go
Last year we would have been walking
To the neighbourhood bar
Another week end without you
Wherever you are
I knew you well
I held you close
I let you go
I knew you well
I held you close
I let you go

Marie The Cat
Marie the cat
From the tobacco place
Is gazing at the world
Staring at my face
And all the sounds I like are gone
I only catch the noise
Of delivery trucks
Of old toys
See I'm happy now
Like I've never been
Look I'm happy now
I painted my bike green
In vapors I've seen your face
Near the fig tree
But when I rubbed my eyes
It all vanished at sea
I shouted at the city
Wrapped in nicotine
From my balcony
Shaking a tambourine
See I'm happy now
This is how happy I am
Look I'm happy now
God damn

Burning Joy

Burning Joy
You’ve been gone since early winter
City went and sucked you in
I smoke roll ups out my window
Universe growing thin
This sky is unfamiliar
Drags at my heel tonight
Stars say I should be with you
Treading shadows I’m sleeping light
And atoms swarm beneath the sun
Some possessed by the bloodstained blues
My lungs are tight my fever hums
There’s no sickness quite like you
You bring me burning joy
I’m burning
Burning joy
Burning
My grief has grown teeth now
In the kitchen I hear him grinding down on bone
He’s nailed up like a thief now
I’ve asked but he won’t leave me alone
I’m burning joy
Burning
Burning joy
Burning
Watch me burn
Watch me burn
Watch me burn
Watch me burn

My Love, I’ll Build A Tower
And that was when I saw it
The light that shimmered
Out across two hundred kilometres
Of suburbs and desert sand
Little lighthouse you are beaming
And that is all I ever need
As every single day flows by
Unremarkable
And the moon hits the water
And the moon hits the water
And the moon hits the water
And I’m afraid of what you’re saving me from
And the glacier keeps on dropping to the sea
And the forest now steaming from april showers
My love I’ll build a tower
Just to wave to you from
And the moon hits the water
And the moon hits the water
And the moon hits the water
And I’m afraid of what you’re saving me from
And everything is weeping
As I dive into the forest
I speak to you in dreams my love
I call out in my sleep my love
And climb into the canopy
My eyes are open wide
And out across that distance love
I saw the light I saw the light I saw the light
I saw the light I saw the light I saw the light
And the moon hits the water
And the moon hits the water
And the moon hits the water
And I’m afraid of what you’re saving me from

Je connais une structure

Je connais une structure
Je connais une structure
Pas comme moi
Inspirée par la nature
Pas comme moi
Une structure de forme pure
Pas comme moi
Une structure qui endure
Pas comme moi
Parcourant son armature
Saisissant tout son poids
J’en admire la carrure
Et me jette dans ses bras

Sometimes I Miss You

Sometimes I Miss You
And down in the valley
The rain starts to fall
Does it fall back in the city
Are you standing gazing out
Sunday evening
Something makes me think of you
So I will tell you
Sometimes I miss you
I was out searching
Where bells were sighing
Kneeling down in the silver grass
Trying to find one single thing that lasts
But every moment
Every single thing renewed
I was out searching
In time everlasting
And somehow the future
Is right now arriving
And I keep on breathing and waiting
And only alive here now for me
Sunday evening
Something makes me think of you
So I will tell you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I miss you

Pierre Makes Coffee
[Flora]
At the bar that morning
Goodbye until the next time
Pierre was making coffee
Goodbye, goodbye
A cigarette before I go
Goodbye until the next time
Pierre will make us coffee
Goodbye, goodbye
[Jack]
We’ll walk together to the station
Goodbye until the next time
Share one last embrace, then
Goodbye, goodbye
I’ll see your face again
Goodbye until the next time
I’m told there is no end, it’s not
Goodbye, goodbye
[Viq]
Oh don’t you cry, dear Josephine
Goodbye until the next time
I’ll wave at you from below
Goodbye, goodbye
There’s a time to say fare-thee-well
Goodbye until the next time
Time will come to say hello
Goodbye, goodbye
[All]
A cigarette before I go
Goodbye until the next time
Pierre will make us coffee
Goodbye, goodbye
