City Appearing Lyrics
[Intro]
So, in this late hour
Maybe trouble, maybe fantasy
Oh, it's too hot for winter
Ooh-ooh, patience, violent heart
Bright blue flames under my fingers
I'm taken by surprise
Taken through the city
Storm on my back
[Verse 1]
Is it the hand of love so rough?
What we're feeling for the first time?
Does Claire love too
Or Julie? Do they love?
When Lis feels the way I do
Can I feel her percuss through the city?
[Verse 2]
Through the city
All the phones are ringing
With the restaurant's complaint
Even the regular customers
Have left early tonight
Ran out without a hat
[Verse 3]
Everyone has left early without a hat
A fire without a hat
All the birds of the world make their way over
With a new softer song to sing
All the birds of the world make their way over
With a new softer song to sing
[Pre-Chorus]
The moon is true
Maxim's on fire
[Chorus]
Gigi swimming
I see my love swimming
Moon, you know disaster from a warm bath
All who are muffled by the squall
Doesn't love scare them?
Screamers on the balconies
Soldiers on the roofs
Trombones on the roofs
The screamers who fell in love or died
City appearing
