Under a fog of steel
In the suburbs of Izmir!, Susa or Santa Fe
Six billion puppets at the end of the light
Who start to dream of a new universe
& you stay elsewhere in an immortal buzz
Making lures with artificial flowers
For the beggars who pray to gods & chimeras
The hope traffickers at the locker room exits
I love you & I wait for you in the shadow of my dreams
I love you & I wait for you & the sun rises
& the sun .../...

In a curtain of fire
In the suburbs of Auckland!, Cuzco or Montreux
Six billion ghosts looking for the exit
With hearing aids & matching canes
But you come from elsewhere, from a strange spiral
From a unique maelstrom in the spatial breach
With piano strings around your neck
& nails on your wrist to play the mambo
I love you & I wait for you in the shadow of my dreams
I love you & I wait for you & the sun rises!
& the sun .../...

In its fairy plasma
In the suburbs of Hanoi, !Sfax or Munich
Six billion lepers looking for their sustenance
In the streets of love following the rhythm
But you look elsewhere for elementary spasms
That translate our thoughts as we translate Homer
& you teach me the verses of Anna Akhmatova
While I play Cage on the harmonica for you
I love you & I wait for you in the shadow of my dreams
I love you & I wait for you & the sun rises
& the sun .../...

Drunk on these old golds
In the suburbs of Angkor!, Oz or Ulan Bator
Six billion lost souls looking up at the sky
To find the mistake in a flight of swallows
But you float elsewhere on blurry clouds
In fake rainbows vibrating with soft sands
You sing arias of universal hope
To make the sun rise over our emails
I love you & I wait for you in the shadow of my dreams
I love you & I wait for you & the sun rises
& the sun .../...

Over there on the horizon
Coming from Heliopolis playing Hyperion
Six billion groupies waiting for him hysterically
In the stadium on D-day, jamming the music
But you squat elsewhere in a rain desert
Waiting for the cooler hours of the night!
& you make me dance up there on your hill
In your ethereal breath of feminine sweetness
I love you & I want you in the shadow of my dreams
I love you & I want you & the sun rises
