it's a grand tour
somewhere
merchants in caravans
come to me, come to me
well, I'm your friend
don't you see?
it's a grand tour
fanfare
stranglers dominion
first mention: 1356
professional robbers and thieves
pungi, pungi, pungi, pungi
it's a grand tour
secret
Ramasi jargon
no one knows, no one knows
if we're thugs or nabobs
it's a grand tour
fanfare
a snake slithers on the road
we're not superstitious
oh, my
as far as I know we'll all die

he was an eye witness in Moramba
he lived a narrative poem
he gave credence to heart
dusty black and white eyes
click, click, fascinating mantra
east to Mumbai up to the Pole
he gave credence to heart
dusty black and white eyes
oh, horses on wide meadows
zoom in to feel much closer
the World is big but Brazil is bigger
humans are incredible
that is why I work alone
I look through a lens
the greatest part of them
he was an eye witness in Rwanda
he lived a narrative poem
he gave credence to heart
dusty black and white eyes
click, click, fascinating mantra
Serra Pelada go to Hell
he gave credence to heart
dusty black and white eyes
oh, horses on wide meadows
zoom in to feel much closer
the World is big but Brazil is bigger
yes indeed I'm the man inside the camera
my room is the black box
my bed is a mirror

obscene morning
mosquitoes and queen bees
feverish morning
wrapped in hot hot heat
first days of Summer
in my tiny that has no Spring
archipelago
lively morning
the brood is on the beach
crumbled eggshells
wrapped in hot hot heat
first days of Summer
in my tiny that has no Spring
archipelago
the canoe limps
slowly over my shell
it takes a break
at the heart of the trench
the paddle man
hums a jazzy jazz song
the canoe limps slowly
over my shell
obscene morning
mosquitoes and queen bees
feverish morning
wrapped in hot hot heat
first days of Summer
in my tiny that has no Spring
archipelago
the canoe limps
slowly over my shell
why do we constantly look for
new sand dunes?
new sunsets?
the canoe limps slowly
over my shell

look at the sparkling Big Dipper
this is the old me who talks
to the young me in 1968
not far from LA
wide fields of wheat
remember the sparkling Big Dipper?
it doesn't likely exist anymore
night lights erase stars and comets
not far from LA
there's no more wheat
I need to get out of the city
kinda N O M A D I C
imagine the lives of others
sitting on their plane
on my plane
she broke down in tears
my God
distance repairs
no way
I've never been on a plane
I dream of Lorraine
down here is better than daydreams
ok, just stop asking why, please
not again, not again
I need to get out of the city
kinda N O M A D I C
imagine the lives of others
sitting on their plane
on my plane
the weather is getting worse and worse
how could you do that?
this is gonna hurt
imagine the lives of others
sitting on their plane
on my plane
