lyrics

Oh, Flanneur


CHORUS:
Oh, flanneur
Oh, flanneur
Oh, flanneur
Now what do you see?

There’s the city, posed between sea & sky,
Hovering between fear and joy,
And there you wander aimlessly
As my dreams wander inside of me.

CHORUS

Oh, City, library of dramatic scenes,
And you, Reader of Cities, by what means
Do you turn the pages, keep yourself alive
When you never leave and you never arrive?

CHORUS

London, Berlin or Moscow or Boston,
I wander my life like a city I’m lost in.
Paris, Manhattan or Kathmandu,
What kind of witness or protector are you?


Reflections pool in storefront glass,
They whisper to you as you pass,
That the end is always where you start,
Metropolis of your own heart,

CHORUS
