lyrics

BALKANS

Lucien,

la vie qu'on vit même de dos, voyage en retard près du corps sans valise
la vie garantie bio - takakroire - phrase en panne élagage caduc fusée flétrie rachis crevé carnet fini contre la nuit page 19 des mots des copeaux de salive sous la langue murailles vide sec ne pas rompre la verticalité de l'incertitude le corps qui bondit en nous la neige debout takakroire
des arbres remuent de l'intérieur
impasse de la danse immobile
cargo d'ébène visage brut au fond des filets de l'air la tête aux gens plein essorage
sur la corde de sueur mot-salve & boomerang
la vie s'inscrit malgré tout

il faudrait se recoudre les membres dans l'ordre pour une reconstitution fidèle & sardanapalesque de notre venue sur terre ou devrais-je dire parterre
les ongles poussent à l'intérieur du crâne décidément tout se confond dormir
mais rêver
réveille

We want... We want.... (ad lib)
We want to wake up !

Chorus :

We wanna wake up
In a sunny field
Peaceful & quiet
No loud noise of guns
No bleeding lights of fights

Good bye dark shadows
Goodbye black birds

We are quiet & peaceful
We want
we want
To wake up
wake up !
