Sweep slides on my stereo
Short wave ’round my rodeo
Became from that of Savalon
But I’m flying to Istanbul

Oh so why don’t you meet me … there?

There is no nation of you
There is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in Lucid Dreams
Lucid Dreams I’m living in Lucid Dreams
I’m living on short based dreams tonight

I’ll dial Alexandria
If you dial into Ithaca
South fisher, German bite
I skate on the world tonight

Oh so why don’t you come along?
There is no nation of you
There is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in Lucid Dreams
Lucid Dreams
I’m living in Lucid Dreams
I’m living on short based dreams tonight

I’m gonna give my aimless love
My angry heart
My desire
I woke with wings from Lucid Dreams
I knew the reason I felt hollow
Was it I may never know
If there is some great truth or not

There is no nation of you
There is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in Lucid Dreams
Lucid Dreams
I’m living in Lucid Dreams

I’m living in a short wave stream tonight
Lucid dreams
I’m living on LUCID DREAMS
Now there is just plain mystery...

(Franz Ferdinand)

 

La notte ha mille porte
e nella testa c'è una città intera
che soffia e che respira
che soffre e che ti attira
sempre più dentro
sempre più al centro
sempre più in mezzo fino a che non lo distingui più il confine
tra la tua pelle e il cielo
tra quello che è a pezzi è quello che è intero

la notte ha mille occhi
credi di guardare e sei guardato
sono tempi "rock'n roll"
che si resta senza fiato
cadono i record alle olimpiadi
tutto si supera in un secondo
e in ogni mondo c'è dentro un mondo
che ha dentro un mondo che ha dentro un mondo

ci sono armi nei supermercati
e mettono i "beep" nei vaffanculo
ci dicono continuamente che nessuno è al sicuro
ma questo lo sapevo già
e non è mai stata una buona scusa
per barricarmi dentro casa
la tele accessa e la porta chiusa

safari
dentro la mia testa
ci sono più bestie che nella foresta

la terra vista dallo spazio è una palla
azzurra e silenziosa
ma se ci vivi ti rendi conto
che è tutta un'altra cosa
niente combacia ci sono crepe
e dalle crepe passa un po' di luce
che si espande nell'universo
prendi tutto quello che ti piace

ho" diamanti sotto ai miei piedi"
ho un oceano dentro alle vene
ognuno danza col suo demone
e ogni storia finisce bene

Safari
dentro la mia testa
ci sono più bestie che nella foresta

fuoco
acqua
elettricità

le scimmie saltano di ramo in ramo
assaggio la notte,
la notte che passa più svelta
su lente lenzuola di corpi
sudati si chiudono gli occhi
si spegne l'insegna dell'ultima vita di luce
rubate si finge il silenzio perfetto
l'esterno ti sembra di pace
la notte d'estate
intanto il rumore
nel buio dell'anima mia
che corre a gambe levate
sbattendo con forza
su muri di pelle e di ossa
un paio di ali al vento.

 

(L.Cherubini)

 

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

Et le chacalot a dit:
"Je voudrais être un yéti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'envoler loin d'ici"
Mais le yéti a dit:
"Je veux être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer
De tous les requins"


And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes."

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
