OUR HOUSE
English

OUR HOUSE

Our house
Is a house that moves
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean

Our house
Is a house that moves
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean
Just like the ocean

Hey friend
If you wanna come by
It’s easy to find
It’s easy to find

Hey friend
It’s in front of the sky
In front of the sky

GASOLINE MAN
English

GASOLINE MAN

I’m a gasoline man
I don’t know where I go
I’m gonna drive and drive
I wanna get there on time

I’m a gasoline man
And I know how to ride
I’m gonna drive and drive
Find out where you hide

I’m a gasoline man
I don’t know where I go
I’m gonna drive and drive
I wanna get there on time

I’m a gasoline man
That’s the way I feel
Oh won’t you take my hand
Put it on the wheel

Say a little prayer for the motor
Gasoline baby
Say a little prayer for the motor
Let’s go for a ride

I’m a gasoline man
I set your road on fire
Don’t try to put it out
The flames will just go higher
I’ve got some gas for you
I’ve got some gas for me
But tonight I know
Won’t have enough for two

Say a little prayer for the motor
Gasoline baby
Say a little prayer for the motor
Let’s go for a ride

Thank you Reed, you taught me how to bend
Thank you Wolf, you taught me how to bite

I’m a gasoline man, I don’t know where I go
I’m a gasoline man, gonna get there on time
I’m a gasoline man, gonna find out where you hide
Yeah I’m a gasoline man, I set the road on fire

Say a little prayer for the motor
Say a little prayer for the motor, babe
Say a little prayer for the motor
Say a little prayer for the motor, let’s go

Cos I’m a gasoline man
Yeah I’m a gasoline man
Cos I’m a gasoline man

TV SKY

TV SKY

Sister dances
Sister grooves
Sister invents
Brand new moves

Sister breathes
Sister sings
Sister tries
Brand new wings

Sister dances
Sister beats
Sister invents
Brand new heats

Sister ends
Sister smiles
Sister’s hands are
Butterflies

Sister wanders
Sister times
Sister invents
Brand new crimes

Now sister dances
Sister switches

We’ve got the tv sky
Too blue to be true
We’ve got the tv sky
And you’ve got it too

Sister dances
Sister grooves
Sister invents
Brand new moves

Sister breaks
Sister whore
Sister walks on
Brand new shoes

We’ve got the tv sky
Too blue to be true
We’ve got the tv sky
And you’ve got it too

We’ve got the tv sky
Too blue to be true
We’ve got the tv sky
And you’ve got it too

SKINFLOWERS
English

SKINFLOWERS

Gimme something skin
Something like a flower
Gimme something warm
Something like a forever

Gimme something heart
Something ready to start
Gimme something strong
And I’ll sing this song

Gimme something skin
Something like a shelter
Gimme something deep
Something you don’t wanna keep

Gimme something love
Something without a glove
Gimme something wrong
And I’ll sing this song

One for the skinflowers
Skinflowers

Gimme gimme gimme

What is burning inside
Will warm up some
Outside
What is burning inside
Will warm up some
Outside

One for the skinflowers

I said skinflowers
Flowers

DAME CHANCE
English

DAME CHANCE

Yesterday I did see
Dame chance is in the city
I took a breath and I thought
Dame chance is really pretty

Then I began to look around
What the hell did I find
Our shadows were gone for love
Hey, one is up there on a tree
Pushing up the bright bright sun

Pushing up pushing up pushing up

I was born with a crystal heart
A crystal much harder than stone
Sure enough I will fall
But I, I’ll fall in love again

Pushing up pushing up pushing up

I got to find something right
I got to find something bright
I’ll have my honey dance tonight
To welcome, welcome dame chance

Pushing up pushing up pushing up
Gotta find something bright

Yesterday I did see
Dame chance is in the city
She’ll never get to you if you look so down
She’ll never get to you if you look so down

Pushing up pushing up pushing up

THE NIGHT DANCE
English

THE NIGHT DANCE

Let’s go see the night dance
Up there on the hills
Let’s go see the night dance
Before the sky stops burning

Let’s go join the night dance
Down there by the river
Let’s dance on her crazy sounds
Turn on all the stars

And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her

Let’s go see the night dance
Up there on the hills
Let’s go see the night dance
Before the sky stops burning

And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her

Two wings for the president
Two wings for the big fish

Let’s go see the night undress
Let’s go make a mess

And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
And if we fall, we’ll fall like her
Gently, in silence

SHE RAINS
English

SHE RAINS

She rains
All over the city
She rains

She rains
And the streets look funny
She rains

She rains
All over town
She rains

She rains
Until the sun shines again
She rains

Ain’t easy
Ain’t easy
Loving today
Today

SUMMER EYES
English

SUMMER EYES

Tonight our city plays a sweet melody
You can hear tomorrow driving down the road
One and one are kissing in the air
One and one are free

Run summer run
We know where you go
Run summer run
You’ve left something behind

I’d like to stay a little longer
Here I can fly, I wonder why
Into the summer eyes

Tonight our city plays a sweet melody
I’ve rented a room with a view
On your eyes

Run summer run
We know where you go
Run summer run
You’ve left something behind

I’d like to stay a little longer
Here I can fly, I wonder why
Into the summer eyes

You’re my choice
Is this my voice
Undulate
You’re my queen
My favorite steam
Undulate

Follow your spine
Make you mine
Undulate
Hit the ground
Follow the sound
Undulate

See you dance
See you trance
Undulate
Can you read my soul ?
Write it on the wall
Undulate
I can fire but I can’t forget
I can fire but I can’t forget

Hey, there are animals in the room
Animals in the room
Hear them calling for food
Calling for food

Hey mister watchman
Tired of watching the birds
Hit the sun every night
Hey mister watchman
Don’t put off the lighthouse
Don’t put off the lighthouse

A big black boat
Coming from the big blue see
The big black boat is full of birds
Birds from the islands
The islands of the the thousand skies
The thousand summer eyes

Hey mister watchman
Stop watching my girl every night
Won’t you leave us alone
Won’t you leave us alone

America, america
The flowers need water
The flowers need water
Undulate
