It was frantic
He was running
Down the stairs
And he was just
It was intense
He was just
Doing whatever he could
To retreat off
The stairs and Ed
Was on the ground
Shots were still
Going on
And I'm running
I'm moving
And Ed was shot

She was static
She was lying
On the platform
As if waiting
For someone or
Was it for death
Her eyes wide open
On some kind
Of mystery
Pain's in bloom
Peace has come
Should I look
Away and run
Is it madness
Or wisdom

Did someone hear her talking
Did you wanna say you're
Exhausted by the ordeal
Did you expect more ?


It was frantic

To retreat off
The stairs and Ed
Was on the ground
Shots were still
Going on
And I'm running
I'm moving
And Ed was shot

Did someone hear him talking
Did you wanna say you're
Going through your final thrill
Drilling down to the core?

She was static
She was lying
On the platform
As if waiting
For someone or
Was it for death
Her eyes wide open
On some kind
Of mystery
Pain's in bloom
Peace has come

Away and run

I'm the 9th pawn of the chessboard
Take it apart, take it along, dark and light squares
I'm the thirteenth labor of Hercules
Give it a try or give it up give it up to me (x2)

I'm the 3rd bullet of a shotgun
Fire the gun up in the air or straight into the target
I'm the 81st day around the world
Take a day off make it last until your eyes close (x2)

I took control of a little soul but did it unwittingly
How can I do what seems fair to you if your values are unclear
Bring down my system with your tender insurrection

I'm the 4th stripe of the French flag
Color it well or cut it off with a steady hand
I'm the 5th season on the calendar
Don't be surprised sunflowers rise under the mantle of snow (x2)

I took control of a little soul but did it unwittingly
How can I do what seems fair to you if your values are unclear
Bring down my system with your tender insurrection

Someday, you say, my aura will not be that concave
Someday, you say, the atmosphere will crackle when I enter the room
Someday, you say, a mere glance from me will soothe your soul
Someday, you say, I'll be my own example, I'll be my own example
Give it up to me, give it up to me

Ooo I wanna see you at night, when you turn your batteries off
When the idea of simple happiness doesn't seem so useless anymore
Ooo I wanna see you at night, when brain curfew is announced
Slowly letting in the idea of longing for some useless softness

Ooo I wanna see you at night when brain curfew is announced (x3)

Eternity turns into a tricky dirty playing field
But no worries cos'
Under the stars you can forget, no need to feign
My eyes are filled with the hope of your surrender

Sometimes I feel that I wanna see you accept the fight
That the useless connects you to your feelings and that your feelings connect to me
Ooo I wanna see you enjoy the fact you have me by your side
You have me by your side, you have me by your side

Ooo I wanna see you at night when brain curfew is announced (x3)

Eternity turns into a tricky dirty playing field
But no worries cos'
Under the stars you can forget, no need to feign
My eyes are filled with the hope of your surrender

I'm on a star it's taking me for a ride
I'm on a star it's taking me tonight

Inside my head I see colours
Colours that bring me joy & pain
Inside their eyes I see a wish
A wish that I can't understand

I want to wake up on a cloud
A cloud that will take me away
To a place where I will be king
A king who's dreams will never fade

I used to rush through dark corridors
I used to think you're the one I adore
I used to melt with some good champagne
I used to bear those beloved chains

I won't be free till I learn how to flee
And you won't be free till you let me be free

I used to spit on betrayal
Till I once forgot about loyalty
I used to claim I am kind to all
Till I despised my own weaknesses

I won't be free till I learn how to flee
And you won't be free till you let me be free

Why are there mornings if we don't wake up?
Why are there nights if we don't flame up?
These are some questions I ask myself
When I see people living without going ahead

Free electron, that is what I thought when you walked my way
Free electron, nobody knows what you do all the day
But you just don't lose time to be a better man
You just go so far in the experiment
You just feed your soul and moult like a snake
You just keep the pace unveiling the fake

Why would we stay here when we could go there
Why would we give up when life is so fair
These are some questions I ask myself
When I see people living without looking behind
These are some questions some basic questions
I still couldn't find the answers
Still couldn't find the answers

Free electron, that is what I thought when you walked my way
Free electron, nobody knows what you do all the day
But you just don't lose time to be a better man
You just go so far in the experiment
You just feed your soul and moult like a snake
You just keep the pace unveiling the fake

I lost my breath on my way to the top
But I won't sit until I get there
No I won't sit until I get there
Keep your eyes on the prize it won't take long

I lost my breathe on my way to the top
But I won't sit until I get there
No I won't sit until I get there
Get ready with the prize
Now it won't take too long

I took some rest on my way to Mysore
Things hardly attained are long retained
Please show me how things are supposed to end
I don't need no help only some respect

I lost my breathe on my way to the top
But I won't sit until I get there
No I won't sit until I get there
Get ready with the prize
Now it won't take too long

Red, red, like the lateritic soil
Zebra shadow on the old wooden floor
I met you under the leaves of a banana tree
Blessed are you who come in the name of the world

Washed out are the colors of the flag
I see in the morning through the windows of my car
You're the symbol of a lost paradise
Don't let the rain erase you before my coming back

Sweet and sour, as the dish on the stove
As the memories that took control of my thoughts
They're too sweet to be true and too sour to be kept
Let me live again, as if nothing happened

Lie down on this frayed hammock chair
Wait for the moths to gather around the light bulb
Former intruders are now part of your world
Open your house to nature and your mind to adventure
