We're not back from Mysteryland yet
That is, we came in there without having seen any light
There is the water, the fire, the computer, Vivendi, and the earth
We certainly must be able to blossom and to brush everything off
We can still greet the cheap little kings
We can still hope to be one day part of the family
Sure, you'll be able to become yourself a stock exchange ace*
We could even consider that everything might blow up in our faces
Around the olive trees pulsate the origins
To find ourselves endlessly being had
Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up
Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up
Is there a fire expected tonight in the parliament
Looks like it's time to envisage another cycle
We can entertain ideals without straying from the people
We can still dream about leaving but without actually moving from here
Apparently the white dove is in a really sorry state
Apperently we must get used to swallowless springs
Sleeping Beauty broke off the negociations
The begins to protest unilaterally
Do we have to curve ourselves again and again for a straight line ?
Plea to find open spaces within the walls of a box
Is that an estuary or the end of the road we catch a glimpse of
Hands up for the puddle we swim in, we drown in
Around the almond trees bloom the worlds soflty
They shall not ingloriously compromise**
Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up
Upside down, right way up, upside down, right way up
