I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And I won't listen to their words
'Cause I like birds

I don't care for walkin' down town
Crazy auto car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well I like birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it's all right if you act like a turd
'Cause I like birds

If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
If you're small and on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

Imagine un enfant en bas âge
Qui se baladerait dans les nuages
Qu’est-ce qu’il verrait de son pt'it âge?
Quelle serait la forme de son voyage?
Il y aurait sûrement de belles images
Deux trois souvenirs qui s’en dégagent
Et si l'temps tournait à l’orage
Y’aurait sa mère dans un visage
Y’aurait pas d'haine et pas d'carnage
Y’aurait qu’l’inconscience de son âge
Quelques bonbecs, quelques mirages
Et l'bonheur our etre en phase

Imagine un Jiang Zeming
Lever les yeux d'sa triste mine
Qu’est-ce qu’il verrait dans l'ciel de Chine
Pas plus l’Panchen que l’Tibet libre
Il verrait des milliards d’unités
Une place Tian An Men bien cleanée
Des chars des parts de marché
Et p’t'etre Mao pour le guider

Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Avant l'orage
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent

Imagine un Taliban
Lever les yeux sous son turban
Sûr dans l'ciel bleu d’Afghanistan
Il y aurait plus d'femmes et plus d’enfants
Il y aurait comme un espèce de voile
Un shador noir qui cache une âme
Quelques armées des tonnes de larmes
Planquées dans des nuages de drames

Imagine le pire des présidents
Bush l’américain pédant
Pris dans un court de ses moments
À divaguer au-dessus du vent
Il verrait dans ces gros trucs blancs
Tonnes de pétrole et tonnes d’argent
Mais sûrement pas le visage des gens
Gazés au nom du bon Texan
Il se verrait lui le géant
Gérant le plus con des continents
Et comme le bouffon qu’il est sûrement
Il savourerait l’instant présent

Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Avant l'orage
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent

Moi quand je regarde dans les nuages
J’vois mon gamin dans un visage
Et suite à la douceur de cette image
Y’a comme une haine qui s'dégage
Voir la beauté de ce présage
Qui pourrait tourner à l’orage
Parce que l'regard de tous ces nazes
N’ira jamais dans le sens des sages

Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Avant l'orage
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent

Moi quand je regarde dans les nuages
J’vois mon gamin dans un visage
Et suite à la douceur de cette image
Y’a comme une haine qui s'dégage
Voir la beauté de ce présage
Qui pourrait tourner à l’orage
Parce que l'regard de tous ces nazes
N’ira jamais dans le sens des sages

Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Avant l'orage
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Avant l'orage
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent
Avant l'orage
Qu’ils dégagent, qu’ils dégagent

You so easily amuse
Like a pantomime
Such a silent crime
You so easily abuse
Lack of confidence
It's your best offense
You so easily confuse
You can't deny it
Still you try to hide it

Faded, so faded
Like a memory gone
There's no recollection
Faded, i'm so faded
Like a forgotten dream
Further than it seems

You so hastily defy
When you think you need it
You find a way to bleed it
You so hastily deny
Pleading innocence
It's your best defense
You so hastily reply
The moment that you said it
Already regret it

Faded, i'm so faded
Like a memory gone
There's no recollection
Faded, i'm faded
Like a forgotten dream
Further than it seems

You so easily amuse
You so easily amuse

Faded, i'm so faded
Like a memory gone
There's no recollection
Faded, so faded
Like a forgotten dream
Further than it seems
Faded, i'm so faded
Like a memory gone
There's no recollection

They love you or they hate you
But they will never let you be
They thrill you or sedate you
But they will never let you see

In the evening Sun
In the evening Sun

Encourage and deranged you
Watch you walking scared alone
Despite intimidation
Pleased to watch you dance along

In the evening Sun
In the evening Sun

Go your separate way now
Someday you'll come back and I'll be dreaming I was sunburned
I don't want to break your heart in
Break your heart in two halves
Keep one half and give one half to me
I like the summer, miss the summer
Tell me, what'd you do? Nothing? Me too

All actors they're pretending
And singers they sometimes lie
Oh kids are always honest
Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die
You're the prettiest smartest captain of the team
I love you more than being seventeen

In the evening Sun
In the evening Sun
In the evening Sun
In the evening Sun

A quoi ça sert on est tous morts
A quoi tu sers je t'aime encore
Bataille déjà perdue
Une histoire déjà entendue
C'est pas qu'je crois en rien
J'crois plus tout court ça me convient
Chez moi j'vote pas
J'suis pas chez toi y fait trop froid

J'ai perdu mon drapeau
J'crois plutôt qu'j'l'ai brûlé
J'ai oublié d'trouver ça beau
J'ai oublié qu'c'était sacré
J'préfère encore croire en du pire
Désolé je me sens pas bien
Trop pressé de mourir pour écouter ton baratin

Je m'emmerde
J'ai mal aux yeux
Mais dans ma ville tous les hommes sont pluvieux
Je m'emmerde
Demain il pleut
Mais dans ma ville tous les chiens sont boiteux

Y'a tellement rien à dire
Obligé de mentir
Y'a tellement rien à faire
Obligé d'avoir l'air
Conditionné, auditionné, attentionné, c'est t'oublier
Une vie pourrie vaut mieux qu'une putain d'illusion
Une soirée pourrie vaut mieux qu'une putain d'émission
Trop d'émotions à exprimer
Heureusement qu'y'a la page de pub pour te rappeler qu'demain il pleut

Je m'emmerde
J'ai mal aux yeux
Mais dans ma ville tous les hommes sont pluvieux
Je m'emmerde
Demain il pleut
Mais dans ma ville tous les chiens sont boiteux

On aurait pu construire
Ecrire des poèmes sur les murs
Faire un potager du champs d'Mars
Noyer tous les flics dans la Seine
On aurait pu arrêter d'boire
Ouvrir les cages des animaux
On aurait pu s'ouvrir les veines
Et Paris serait beau
Paris serait beau
Paris serait beau
Paris serait beau

Je m'emmerde
J'ai mal aux yeux
Mais dans ma ville tous les hommes sont pluvieux
Je m'emmerde
Demain il pleut
Mais dans ma ville tous les chiens sont boiteux

Je m'emmerde
Je m'emmerde
Je m'emmerde
Je m'emmerde
Demain il pleut
Mais demain il pleut
Demain il pleut
Demain il pleut

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said i'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold, yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you waling away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away

Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And i love the sound of you walking away, walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold, i am old
At least as old as you are
La la la...

And as you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

My baby wants to drive the train
But don't you let her, don't you let her touch the tracks
I said my baby wants to drive the train
Well all aboard yeah, and don't forget to mind the gap
Don't you let her, don't you know ,
She's sick and tired of
Being in the background, the passenger
Let her drive the train, oh!

Choo-choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train?
Choo-choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train? Yeah!

She's setting off from platform four
Make your way down, we'll shut the door bout quarter to five
I said she's setting off from platform four
And they've decided that they're gonna let her drive

Don't you let her, don't you know?
She's sick and tired of
Being in the background, the passenger
Let her drive the train, oh!

Choo-choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train? Oh...
Choo-choo!
Why don't you let her drive my train? Yeah!

Choo-choo!
Choo-choo!
Choo-choo!
Choo-choo!

Throw away your televison
Time to make this clean decision
Master waits for it's collision now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Throw away your televison
Make a break big intermission
Recreate your super vision now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Oy oy oy!

Throw away your televison
Take the noose off your ambition
Reinvent your intuition now
It's a repeat of a story told
It's a repeat and it's getting old

Renegades with fancy gauges
Slay the plague for it's contagious
Pull the plug and take the stages
Throw away your television now

Throw away your television
Salivate to repetition
Leviate this ill condition now
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat
It's a repeat

Transport, motorways and tram lines
Starting and then stopping, taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings disappointed people
Clinging onto bottles and
When it comes its so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing wings twitch,
legs are going, don't get sentimental,
It always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are
With floor collapses floating,
bouncing back and one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction, hysterical and useless, hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

It's going down in my dark side
My mind starts sweating, my heart
It starts a chain reaction
That's how the pain it all starts

It's going down where no one can see
It's a sad sad sight
The feeling just gets stronger
I see you, I just put on a smile
I try to cover it up
But I can't take it too much longer

Time stands still, as I lie in place
I try to block out the pitch
In my head that keeps ringing
So I pound and pound on myself
I try to wake myself up
But I can't cause I'm not dreaming

It's going down in my dark side
With no release or escape
Doesn't believe in forgiveness
It's an emotional rape

It's going down where no one can see
It's a sad sad sight
No suspense as what will follow
Fractured terror fills my peace
Shocks my senses
Leave me empty sad and hollow

Time stands still, as I lie in place
I try to block out the pitch
In my head that keeps ringing
So I pound and pound on myself
I try to wake myself up
But I can't cause I'm not dreaming

It's goin' down it's goin' down
It's goin' down it's goin' down
It's goin' down it's goin' down
It's goin' down it's goin'
It's goin' down

It's going down in my dark side
Shivers and shakes through my soul
Ration surveys the damage
There's nothing left to control

It's going down now, I'm face to face
With the hollowness
That echoes in this darkness
How can I fight when I cannot see what to fight
Reluctantly how can I even stop this
All hell is breaking loose
Now panic rules as emotions blaze on fire

I'm goin' down down down down down
I'm goin' down
I'm so damn tired

It's goin' down it's goin' down
It's goin' down it's goin' down
It's goin' down it's goin' down
It's goin' down it's goin'
It's goin' down

It's goin' down in my darkside
