lyrics

I fall mélancolique not only in the fall
I roll a rock to the top of the mountain and then it falls back
That’s rock’n roll
But who wrote this song?

I join the Dior Anarchists’ Club and wear 5 inch high heels
I look for Mister Perfect and then I feel like Miss Understood
But who wrote this book?

I don’t know the goal yet
I don’t know the aim
Even so I am on the way
I don’t know the purpose
No destination
Even so I am on the way

I buy the hundredth new dress in abricot and baby blue
I go to green and save a gnu
I sink a well in Ethiopia
But is this my part to play?

I give birth, I lose, I love, I breathe
I dream, I read, I ask, I fail
I play, I give, I sing, I smile, I cry, I hurt, I hear, I grow
I wake up with the birds, that’s my scénario

I don’t know the goal yet
I don’t know the aim
Even so I am on the way
I don’t know the purpose
No destination
Even so I am on the way

I write a song that starts en français
It takes an english detour to rhyme with amour
I feel the pain like winter last too long
But summer is here, so the plot seems wrong

One must imagine me happy!

«Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux»
