In the classroom, no one whispers
Just the piece of chalk on the piece of wall
I was better at home, than in these history books
And the voice inside tells me "everything is fine"
In the upper rows, we conjugate the future
And I learn geography on car plates
I did well to sit next to the windows
And the voice inside tells me "everything is fine, your mind is elsewhere"
Until this madman comes screaming in the loudspeakers
Dreamer, what did I just say?
Dreamer, what did I just say?
I was elsewhere
I admit I was elsewhere
Oh, I was elsewhere
I admit I was elsewhere

Cleaning the mud in the holes of khaki jackets
Avoiding blows and bullets at the end of rifles
I have icy hands in the huge courtyard
And the voice inside tells me "everything is fine"

But there's someone calling between the turrets of the tanks
There's a finger aiming at a head taken at random
I slept better at home than on these sandbags
And the voice inside tells me "everything is fine, your mind is elsewhere"
Until this madman comes screaming in the loudspeakers
Dreamer, what did I just say?
What did I just say?
Elsewhere
I admit I was elsewhere
I was elsewhere
I, I admit I was elsewhere

Even today my eyes are wandering
But no one bothers me, they say "he's looking for images"
"And how do you expect him to write
If you make all this noise around?"
All this noise, all this noise around

And what did I just say? (Elsewhere)
(Elsewhere) what did I just say? (Elsewhere)
(Elsewhere) I was elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere (elsewhere)
What did I just say? (Elsewhere)
(Elsewhere) I was elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere (elsewhere)
(Elsewhere) what did I just say?
(Elsewhere) what did I just say?
(Elsewhere) I was elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere, elsewhere (elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere) what did I just say?
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
(Elsewhere, elsewhere)
