The Commute Home lyrics

HIPOLITO:

Amélie has no boyfriend. She tried once or twice, but the results were a letdown. Those five years haven’t changed a thing... Amélie still escapes into....solitude

She walks home from work

Every night all alone

And nothing's changed

AMÉLIE:

See you tomorrow

MAN:

Bye bye

HIPOLITO:

Her neighbours all like her

But nobody knows her

And nothing's changed

She likes taking teaspoons to crack crème brûlée

And likes to skip stones at St. Matin Canal

And nothing's changed

While friends see the world

She stays home with their pets

And nothing's changed

She's fine on a few dates

And had a few boyfriends

But nothing's changed

She likes to amuse herself

By asking questions like-

AMÉLIE:

Hoe many couples in Paris

Are having an orgasm right at this moment?

(A woman is heard, presumably having an orgasm)

AMÉLIE:

Fifteen

ENSEMBLE:

But later this evening her life will change

Later this evening her life will...

Change
