Lyrics:
Weekday morning, have to wake up
Nothing could ever get me late
A quick shower, no time to waste
Scrambled eggs and coffee on a cup

I’m ready, have to catch the bus
Seems like I’m waiting forever
I run, take the escalators
And say some run excavators

No question asked, same pace every work day
But the sun’s shining differently today

And suddenly the floor slips away, hostile
I wonder why the person at the phone lives
The streets lose their names, the road is empty
I’m all alone, a stranger in my own body

'Je ne puis vivre personnellement sans mon art
Mais je n'ai jamais placé cet art au dessus de tout'

Come with me nowhere
We’ll travel from here and there
Let’s go to the edges
Peek in the ocean of time
Run down the mountain once again
Let’s roll our dices

Open office, brought daylight, air conditioning
All my comfort
Scribbling in my box, curving little ice cubes
Silent area

Nothing matters, everything counts they say
What am I earning? What am I spending?

'Et, celui qui souvent a choisi son destin d'artiste parce qu'il se sentait différent apprend bien vite qu'il ne nourrira son art, et sa différence, qu'en avouant sa ressemblance avec tous. L’artiste se forge dans cet aller retour perpétuel de lui aux autres, à mi-chemin de la beauté dont il ne peut se passer et de la communauté à laquelle il ne peut s’arracher.  C’est pourquoi les vrais artistes ne méprisent rien. [...] Chaque génération, sans doute, se croit vouée à refaire le monde. La mienne sait pourtant qu’elle ne le refera pas. Mais sa tâche est peut-être plus grande. Elle consiste à empêcher que le monde se défasse.'

Come with me nowhere
We’ll travel from here and there
Let’s go to the edges
Peek in the ocean of time
Run down the mountain once again
Let’s roll our dices

Come with me nowhere
We’ll travel from here and there
Let’s go to the edges
Peek in the ocean of time
Run down the mountain once again
Let’s roll our dices

Weekday evening, cocktails and dancing
I feel like my glass, so transparent
Limpid and not much hold anymore
My hands shake, I’ve just fallen for you

Why not? I got my own rhythm to make
After all, you could light my nights and days

Come with me nowhere
We’ll travel from here and there
Let’s go to the edges
Peek in the ocean of time
Run down the mountain once again
Let’s roll our dices
