Going to Manhattan, taking the Brooklyn Bridge Going to see the docks, and see Gabart winning Going back to Brooklyn, taking the Brooklyn Bridge Going to Manhattan, taking the Brooklyn Bridge Maybe take an ice-cream, ‘cause it’s sunday morning Going back to Brooklyn, taking the Brooklyn Bridge We are the giants birds Mer, swell Going to Manhattan, taking the Brooklyn Bridge It’s black on the river, the sun is still setting Going back to Brooklyn, taking the Brooklyn Bridge

The Chaos 03:03
Whitney has a dream and she la la la, Whitney has a dream She’s upstair with the minotaur, all together in the corridor We, we can try, we, we can try again Got to believe, got to believe, got to believe, is it true ?

Maybe she is just a girl to know Maybe she loves the god Zeus Maybe she wants to live by her own But maybe she’s interest in the power Maybe she prefer the long island With the sun, the birds and the ships Maybe she would like to cross the sea To run away from the god Zeus, and be free

Year 02:46
I’ve got a fake fridge, and I want you to know I’ve got a fake door, with no more wrist I’ve got a fake floor, and that’s my ashtray I’ve got a fake sink, but the water tastes good So much trouble in my house It’s getting dark and getting wet So much trouble in my house Please call for help ! Listen to my voice Don’t understand your choice Can you pick up clothes You got to get dressed good for your mom ! I’ve got a fake bath, and a vacuum cleaner I’ve got a fake table, looks good with my chair I’ve got a fake furnace, no more vacuum cleaner I’ve got a fake house, and it’s burning inside So much trouble in my house It’s getting dark and getting wet So much trouble in my house Please call for help ! Listen to my voice Don’t understand your choice Can you pick up some clothes You got to get dressed good for your mom !

In Shot 03:20
Come see with me, where they can hide ‘Cause the garden is super wide And behind the branches, they’re not seeking for us, for us We’re on our day, let’s take our time This is my game, my only one And for the next turn, I swear they won’t find us, find us Riddles riddles There is Ms Pickington And everyday she cooks for her sons Now she’s waiting for them She starts to think « where are they ? » Maybe missing in the park So have you seen, some place to hide ? And did you noticed all the disguises To win the party, we need to buy for us, for us Riddles riddles So now she’s in the game Hunting the children like a wolf She’s angry and the kids are lame Hope they will never get caught Or they will regrets it forever

The Mount 05:02
Le soleil se couchait et le vent hurlait La tempête les poursuivait Un nuage de fumée grise rampait derrière leur course La poignée de malfrat s’enfuyait Le tonnerre des sabots grondait Leur cavale foudroyait l’horizon Ils étaient exténués Leurs montures s'essoufflaient La catharsis approchait Les formes s’estompaient Ils riaient au désert mais leur fin approchait Un vent chaud sifflait à leurs oreilles Maintenant ils courent vers la broussaille Et là ils suent dans la grisaille Maintenant ils fuient de la tenaille De la mitraille, et des balles ! Ils caltent vers la pénombre Alors ils craignent leurs propres ombres Mais avant que tout ne s’obombre Ce sera la rencontre, fatale !

It’s a waste of time, to hang out Sitting on that green grass, near the river Hours of the past looking by But when you stare at me like that It’s a waste of time, but we sat Then we have that long walk, now we’re old Paris’ roofs are smoking, ‘keep silence But when, you smile and start to dance It’s a waste of time, but we laughed We should not look back, and remind We would see flowers, full of wine But watch.. We are the giant birds, Mer, swell It’s a pleasant dream that we built But now I‘m the past, far away day It’s a sad vision, when love goes But still I’ll keep these days alive

An american boy walking in paris He thought he’ll have a bad day Under the spell of the french capital He plans to settle there He has heard about midnight in Paris He thoughts wow I’ll wait there When the bells of midnight rang away He was looking at the road A dinosaur happy walking down the street He told to him “come on boy” He was now sixty millions years in the past Dead crushed by a dinosaur
