In the Avenue

Here in the morning she shakes the sunlight from her brow
 Places her feet to the floor and slowly stretches out
 Her legs take shape and reveal an orange silhouette
 Silent she lifts up her hands to light her cigarette
 Down right here the silence fades
 She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
 Oh, down right here the streets all look the same
 She moves along, she evaporates
 (Lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala
 Lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala
 Lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala
 Lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalala)
 A sea of motion the cars, they flicker in her eyes
 Forming odd shapes with the bodies of the passersby
 Flowers and curtains, they move so softly in the breeze
 How now the wind whispers slow atop her tiny feet
 Down right here the silence fades
 She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
 Down right here the streets all look the same
 She moves along, she evaporates
 Le noir est détruit par le soleil
 Son dos est caressé par ses rayons
 Elle se promène avec, dans l'avenue
 L'étincelle qui a brisé la nuit
 Here in the market the old men smile and sell their goods
 These bakers, butchers, and buyers smile as old friends would
 She lifts her head and the sun, it flares in orange hues
 How now she's moving along against the avenue
 Down right here the silence fades
 She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
 So, down right here the streets all look the same
 She moves along, she evaporates
 So, down right here her heart, it quakes
 She moves into the crowd, she evaporates
 Oh, down right here the streets all look the same
 She moves along, she evaporates
