STREETS OF PARIS


I WALK THE STREETS OF PARIS
TRYING NOT TO BE EMBARRESSED
CAUSE I DON’T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE
NOT A WORD

AND I’VE READ ALL OF SARTRE
CAMUS, GENET AND KAFKA
I AGREE WITH THEM THS LIFE’S ABSURD

I WALK THE BOULEVARD NAMED FOR SAINTS
THEY’RE TIRED OF PRAYERS AND OF COMPLAINTS
ST. MICHAEL, CHRISTOPHER AND ANTHONY
BUT I NEED NO GREATER PROOF
I’M NOT SEEKING HIGHER TRUTH
ALL THE PROOF I NEED IS RIGHT HERE
NEXT TO ME


A DRINKING NIGHT WITH STRANGERS
IS OFTEN FILLED WITH DANGER
BUT I LIKE THE EDGE OF UNCERTAINTY
I’VE BEEN THROUGH MARCEL PROUST
WENT ON TO LENNY BRUCE
THEY SEEM TO HAVE THEIR ROOTS
IN THE SAME TREE

BUT THERE’S THAT BOULEVARD OF SAINTS
TIRED OF PRAYERS AND OF COMPLAINTS
ST. MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER AND ANTHONY

BUT I NEED NO GREATER PROOF
I’M NOT SEEKING HIGHER TRUTH
ALL THE PROOF I NEED IS RIGHT HERE
NEXT TO ME

WE GO GLIDING THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH YOUR EYES PROJECTING LIGHT
REFLECTIONS OF THE WATER ON YOUR HAIR
AGAINST THE HYPNOTISING SOUND
OF LIGHT RAIN ON THE GROUND
AND THE FRAGRANCE OF FRESH FLOWERS
IN THE AIR

WE WALK THE BOULEVARD OF SAINTS
TIRED OF PRAYERS AND OF COMPLAINTS
ST. MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER AND ANTHONY

BUT I NEED NO GREATER PROOF
I’M NOT SEEKING HIGHER TRUTH
ALL THE PROOF I NEED IS RIGHT HERE
NEXT TO ME

ALL THE PROOF I NEED IS YOUR RIGHT HERE WITH ME
