lyrics

The city lights were so far away
delirious nights
determined days

The future seemed so far away
Fearless nights
impulsive days

We thought we were Sartre and De Bouvoir
But that didn’t get us far

Leonor Fini and Dora Maar
Underground superstar

The city called us By our names
Took us into private games

Elusive were the lover’s ways
Cold and stony was her face

We thought we were Sartre and De Bouvoir
But that didn’t get us far

Fred Frith and Brian Eno
What did we know?

The darkness she showed was her space
Brought you to some other place

No tears came from her disgrace
While she tortured you to hate

We thought we were Sartre and De Bouvoir
But that didn’t get us far

Leonor Fini and Dora Maar
Underground superstar

The city lights were so far away
