What about the corpses in the Seine?
Do you know the names of any poets?
Can you say a prayer fit for a clone?
Should you say "ofay" if you're not white?
'Cause I found a letter written on the shore
The words in the water tell you what I saw

Who was Genji Monogatari?
Serious beauty is a plague?
In another size would it be yours?
Don't you ever read Bazooka Joey?
Cuz I found a letter written on the shore
The words in the water tell you what I saw

Would it be a crime to sell a tear?
Could you take it a raw with sugar cane?
Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais
Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais
Cuz I found a letter written on the shore
The words in the water tell you what I saw
