The same mornings, the same neighbours
The same words: good morning, good night
The same cardboard walls, the same soap brands
The same lack of determination
The same, same, same, same, same, same, same little life
The same faces, the same messages
The same crises on TV
The same used car, the same lack of money
The same dreams of travels to the end of the globe
The same, same, same, same, same, same, same little life
CHORUS:
Tell me, tell me
How much time will it take me
To free, to emancipate myself
Tell me, tell me
That some day soon I will
Travel the 7 seas
Fly a Boeing
Drive 100 miles an hour
Be able to love without all, all, all those questions
Ride a centaur
Meet Superman
And understand the world of businessmen...
BRIDGE
OOo...
RAP
The little life, the grey days that follow one another and all feel the same
It’s time that goes by, all this time, and yet there's never enough of it
My little life, little just like a pickle in a mason jar
And when it goes "pop" people frown, disapprove, and complain
My little life, little shyness to be, to exist, to create...
CHORUS
Tell me, tell me
BRIDGE 2
Oooo
The same mornings, the same neighbours
The same words: good morning, good night
The same cardboard walls, the same soap brands
The same lack of determination
The same, same, same, same, same, same, same little life....

4. Regrets
I am scared there’s a storm
Everything shakes and vibrates
It is dark in the middle of the day in the middle of the sky
At 30 thousand feet
I am scared, me who believed I was going for an adventure
And we pray, and we scream
My good luck has abandoned me
So many regrets
So much time lost
So many regrets
A sigh, a cry, my throat tight
So many regrets
They told me that time was now
So many regrets
And the kids I’ll never have
So many regrets the sun the moon the flowers
So many regrets
To those we should have said I love you
So many regrets
To always feel so guilty
So many regrets when the end is inevitable
So many regrets…
Is it the end this terrible destiny?
She falls, she falls
Is it the end this sudden turn of events?
She turns, she turns
Is it the end this inhuman plunge
She plunges, she plunges
Is it the end amongst the white sharks?
She swims, she swims
And suddenly the prairies beaten by the rain
Disappear as they are swallowed by waves
But what happened to the world that we believed conquered?
So what will her life be worth?
What will her fortune be?

5. Tourne
Turn, turn and turn
My body turns
Turn, turn and turn
My soul spins endlessly
And these cerulean blues
Make me lose my mind
Turn and turn
In this sublime osmosis I turn
Turn and turn
Under water vortexes
Crystal like armadas
I lose my mind
Otherworldly
Otherwaterly
Run sea horse and bring me
To Neptune’s propylon
Come cephalopods
Escort this siren
To Neptune’s court
And these ocean stars
Dancing, dancing, dancing
Make me lose my mind
Dizzied by the dance
My fall nears its end
And I see, yes I see his face
And I spin and I spin
And I faint
My eyes in the eyes of Neptune
My eyes in the eyes of Neptune

7. Three Times
Three times they will come
The last one, the last one
Three times they will come
The last one will be caught
Three days, running, Three days, hiding
From men, from gods, from animals
From the easy paths that lead nowhere
I lost a shoe, I ripped my dress, had nothing to eat
But mostly nothing to lose
Three times they will come
The last one, the last one
The last one will be caught
I fell out of the sky
In a blown up Boeing
Head first, with all my dreams inside
And while we screamed and prayed
Where the earth was is now an ocean
Duel in the waves, marine volutes
The sirens are laughing at us
The sharks I avoid
I don’t understand
There is nothing to be understood anymore….
Three times, the last one
Three times they will come
The last one will be caught
I woke up on a deserted beach
My hair salt and sand, my skin wrinkled up
I took a deep breath
Say « good morning » to myself
O crab walking by
But who lives here?
The crab laughed at me
And that’s when I started running…
Three times they will come
The last one, the last one
Three times they will come
The last one will get caught.

9. In The Belly Of The forest
Moss underfoot
Giant trees
Green whispers
The phone rings no more it is dead
My hands tremble and my heart I do not feel anymore
I am immensely lost
In the midst of ferns and tender darkness
In the belly of the forest
Pieces and bits of legends
Hanging onto wisps of mist
Accost and infiltrate my mind
They tell me things I was told not to believe
Am I going insane?
In the belly of the forest
Sore feet, scratched, tired
Finally I fall, the weariness wins
The day vanishes as blue shadows stretch
And envelop us in this nascent night
I fall in the palm of a giant
To find Morpheus’s arms
And there softly rocked I abandon myself to slumber
In the belly of the forest
The dreams of the night at dawn linger
Upon this forest morning, ocean morning
You, fragile animal whose pale skin is too fragile
When the phones ring no more
Your survival is threatened
From boredom to fear you waver back and forth
Your roots, your beingness you negate or you ignore
And with your hands in your face you sob
In the belly of the forest
As you wake
The giants observe
Who will she become? What will she decide?
In this exile will you choose to live without baggage or guilt?
Will you take the time to be, make the space to create?
Live this fairy tale under the eye of the giants or
Will you dial this phone endlessly 911, 911, 911…
In the belly of the forest

10. Spider Song
The hours drip slowly
As I wait for you and weave
The doors and the windows shut
Do not allow anything in
Because she is dark and hairy, she looks at you upside down
Hanging on to her considerations, she likes the quieter corners
It is 6pm in the evening
Soon I know you will be back
Installed in the den waiting
The anticipation is unbearable
You arrive, finally
My heart is pounding
Will you ever learn to see me?
And like a man, satisfy me
Because she is dark and hairy, she looks at you upside down
Hanging on to her considerations, she likes the quieter corners
Biography in hand
You read in bed
Very slowly I approach your head
Silently on my thread, I slide
In the final approach
I concentrate on presenting perfect form
I cannot miss my entrance
With the tip of one spider leg I touch your nose…
Because she is dark and hairy, she looks at you upside down
Hanging on to her considerations, she likes the quieter corners
The moment of ecstasy was short lived
A great scream followed by a fatal blow
And now the spider will never, never know
This love she wanted so
Because she is dark and hairy, she looks at you upside down
Hanging on to her considerations, she likes the quieter corners

11. Mr. Prosper
I want power, clout, wealth, assets and influence
Big cars, big mansion and why not an airplane!
Who cares about pollution or destruction?
For money and domination
I see no restrictions.
With my workers, loggers and truckers
Together we will cut down
All the trees, big or small
Anything that has a trunk
Speedily pillaging and burning
The mountain we will clear
And with music from the chain saws
We will become rich.
Cut down! Come on cut down!
Those giant trees!
Bring their cadavers to the pulp mills
And make for the daily news
The newsprint
And without remorse we’ll pollute
The air, the earth and the water.

14. Go Away, Come Back
Oh, he is so handsome
Oh, he is so warm
The images hit me
On my knees I fall
Oh I am lost
Oh did I sell out?
Scattered on the floor
Quartered animal
Go away… come back
I want to live
Never weaken
Spread myself over the world
Like a rainstorm
Climb onto your wild dreams
Like on wild horses
Oh he is so far
Oh I am so crazy
Go away… come back

16. Words Of Mine
The words, the words, words of mine
The words, the words, words of mine
I would like to say the words, words of mine
The words, words, words of mine
In my mind are words that are prisoners
Sounds too that are silenced
The words, the words, words of mine
I need to say the words to survive
Need to create them, winged words
To string them one after another and let them go
The words, the words, words of mine
All my passion, all the songs
The sounds too, need to, need to
Need to let them go, flow, get out, bloom, fly away
But you, you, let me, let me say the words, words of mine
Let me; let me say the words, words of mine
Let me say, scream, yell, sing, dance
Let me do all that I have strength for
All that I have the courage for
The words, the words, the words of mine
The words, the words, the words

17. Adventuress Intro:
I only wanted love
I only wanted acceptance
I only wanted to want
I only wanted to have
What did I understand?
But my desires, my needs
But next to nothing?
18. Accidental Adventuress
There is time no more
Compasses no more
No more rules to obey
There is fear no more
Violence no more
No more ugliness to hold me back
Accidental adventuress
Like an apple core thrown to the winds
Accidental adventuress
Beating heart thrown to the winds
There are excuses no more
Torments no more
No more doubts holding me
There are no more people
Full of reasonable reasons
No one to hold me back
Accidental adventuress
Like an apple core thrown to the winds
Accidental adventuress
Beating heart thrown to the winds
Open your eyes
Find your heart
Sow the words
Do not fear
Open your eyes
Raise your head
Dream out loud
Do not fear
Fly away. Fly away
