Amour, c'est la vie.
Amour, c'est la vie
I want you to cry
So we can both get high
On love junky rhythms of old school
Love, loving deep into the night
On screwed up time that ticks away
Leaving us awake with sweaty skins
That so, so much I, I wish I was you
Or a part of your soul
Slow down
Our souls will join
Breathe wet sex into a lover's paradise
Of formulated ways to get away
Remember the law that said:
"We could not love"
Unformulated, the world I can see
Reality floats around us
Takes our fears
And makes them a mere happenstance of yester-year
And when we float to that place--
That place where all injustice does not exist
Or cannot demonstrate, we will cry;
I will prostrate and float high, high
Feel the breath of temptation; seize it
Feel our skins wet
Feel our breaths connect
And cry, cry love ...
'Till no happenstance exist
No fear can grip
We will listen to our love junky rhythms
And beat:
"Amour, c'est la vie." In painted rhymes
This does not exist to them
But contains us in the singular
To life I say: "Love"
To love I say: "Live"
