Lyrics
A flaneur automaton
I’m walking and I’m walking on
Where the streets are too well-known
And the only way is down…
Want an outdoor Café table
Where cobblestones are unequal
A small harbour and a temple
Sculpted in a cliff of marble
I want a city (by the sea)
Where nobody
Will know me
I search Some place to go away
I search somewhere to lose my way
Canals under crystal tunnels
Archways around a carrousel
A church spire that’s invisible
When seen from a certain angle
I want a city (by the sea)
Where nobody
Will know me
I search Some place to go away
I search somewhere to lose my way
I want maypoles, flags on flagpoles
I want arcades instead of malls
I want two tickets for the ball
And the power to the people
I’m walking and I’m walking on
Where the streets are too well-known
And the only way is down…
Want an outdoor Café table
Where cobblestones are unequal
A small harbour and a temple
Sculpted in a cliff of marble
I want a city (by the sea)
Where nobody
Will know me
I search Some place to go away
I search somewhere to lose my way
Canals under crystal tunnels
Archways around a carrousel
A church spire that’s invisible
When seen from a certain angle
I want a city (by the sea)
Where nobody
Will know me
I search Some place to go away
I search somewhere to lose my way
I want maypoles, flags on flagpoles
I want arcades instead of malls
I want two tickets for the ball
And the power to the people

Great track, but for me, one of the best lyrics you've written JC. This has a real whistful quality, a rejection of the modern soulessness of urban life...arcades instaed of malls.
Lyrics stand on their own, real poetry.
Excellent sentiment, powerfully communicated.
