Space
Standing on a chair in space gazing at the stars
I'm feeling old
What has become of the boy who dreamed of being an astrounat,
Who wanted to discover it all?
I still wanna know why we can't get enough
Isn't there, isn't there space for all of us?
I still wanna know why we are so scared
Isn't there, isn't there a share for all of us?
A silouette of hope projected on the globe
A silent scream in my head: «Let it go!»
But it's so damn hard when you gave it all.
I still wanna know why we can't get enough
Isn't there, isn't there space for all of us?
I still wanna know why we are so scared
Isn't there, isn't there a share for all of us?
Let me
Let me take you here
You gotta see the view
You'll love the view
I still wanna know why we can't get enough
Isn't there, isn't there space for all of us?

Okay
In the belly of the whale
Waiting to be spat out
Kinda lazy weirdo quality time
Where did all the fish go?
Dream of sunshine in your face
Inhale the taste
Where did all the fish go?
It's okay,
You don't have to worry
It's okay, There's no hurry
to be on the bright side of life
to rest in peace
In the valley of death
Waiting to dry out
Inclined to sell your soul for a drink
Where did all the fish go?
Sunshine in your face
Inhale the grace
Where did all the fish go?
It's okay,
You don't have to worry
It's okay, There's no hurry
to be on the bright side of life
to rest in peace
We all hurt
We all fail the ones we love
We all bet on the wrong horse
Every once in a while

Camouflage Entourage
You're trying hard to make a scene
Camouflage
You're busy baking glamour cake
Blancmange all over your face
The sergeant and Grace
Hold me tight, like a child
Make me better, make me right
You hate the way you treat yourself
Sabotage
Ran out of cigarettes and friends
Mirage solely the sky
The sergeant and I
Hold me tight, like a child
Make me better, make me right
The sergeant took over, spit in a circle
Pissed in the lake of your decent mind
Crushed the cake and spoilt the party/night
I don't wanna know what you're talking about
You don't wanna know what I'm talking about
You tidy up, erase the tape
Montage
I'm sorry for being late (again)
Entourage

Fires
Where do we go from here?
Was home ever a place?
Where do we trade our fears
If not by the side of a sleeping child?
Take me higher
Take me up
I wanna see them fires
I wanna see them fires
We're driving down the highway of life
A hundred miles per hour
Still you keep nagging on
Are we there yet?
Take me higher
Take me up
I wanna see them fires
I wanna see them fires
We've felt it coming all along
Blinded by the beauty of a tired song
We're wasting most of our minds
Worrying about things that we cannot hide
Until reality hit the fan
Reality hit the fan
Take me higher
Take me up
I wanna see them fires
I wanna see them fires

Fancy
Show me your favorite colour
Play it loud so that the voices in my head get lost about
Show me your favorite tree
Let's rest there for a while in relativity of time
Fancy you
Fancy you
The way you talk about the universe and us
Tu es en vacances
Tu es le soleil
Take a walk at the shores of your mind
Talking to a turtle for the very first time
Listening to the Beach Boys singing
The tune we used to humm when we couldn't fall asleep
Fancy you
Fancy you
The way you talked about the universe and us
Tu es en vacances
Tu es le soleil

Happy Birthday
Coincident
Coincidentally we've taken the same drink and train
The same drink and train
There you are
Lost for words
Still it hurts
A hitchhiker through the galaxy
Through the galaxy
A pilgrim on the lookout for a God
Who doesn't face the picture we've been painting
The picture we've been painting
This pumpin in my veins and in my chest
Is all and nothing about me
All and nothing about me
Now we're finally talking
It's not what we've planned
Bring out the discolights
And wish everyone
A happy birthday
Certainly
We're never quite certain, but do we need to be?
Do we need to be?
What if we found out that we don't have a clue
Would you still trust me?
Would you still trust me?
Now we're finally talking
It's not what we've planned
Bring out the discolights
And wish everyone
A happy birthday

Eric The Bird
When you're on your own, how long do you wait
Until you start to create imaginary friends?
How long do you wait, when you're on your own?
Like Eric the bird
Who flew all the way
Down to Africa
And all the way back
To eventually find out that everyone (else) is gone
When you're on your own, how long do you wait
Until you start to create imaginary friends?
How long do you wait, when you're on your own?
Like Eric the bird
who had everything prepared
For the day of their return
Who catched some extra for dessert
The ones that Joe likes the most
Day by day and worm by worm
When you're on your own, how long do you wait
Until you start to create Imaginary friends?
How long do you wait, when you're on your own?

Self Pity Jackass
I want to run and hide somewhere in a corner of your art
I was never afraid, never ashamed of failing when I gave it all
Still it's not easy to be easy when pride eats up the walls
When you're not as strong, not as tough as you wished and your breath tastes of bitterness
Beauty of today blow me away
Through the eyes of a child
Through the taste of the wild
I'm a self pity jackass having the time of his life
I want to seek and find comfort in the arcade of a labyrinth
Where it's not about a business plan but the dinner we prepare for tonight
I've always been fond of the people who don't pretend to know where they're going
I rather be a better dreamer than a patient pretender:
«Réver, c'est le bonheur; Attendre, c'est la vie»
Beauty of today blow me away
Through the eyes of a child
Through the taste of the wild
I'm a self pity jackass having the time of his life
