lyrics

When you were with me, that harmony
colored with voices of epiphany
but that’s not to be, as you can see
I’m stuck here alone in my fantasy
and it might as well be 1913, Alfred Jarry,
Maldoror on the beach and the sharks in the sea

And isn’t it sad at the Marienbad
I remember so clear just how it should be
just you and me 1913

And so my dear, if you could hear
blue guitar playing our rites to the spring,
Antonin Artaud, Arthur Rimbaud,
1913, Paul Valery,
Kandinsky, Kokoschka, Miro, mise en scene
1913, Florida Keys,
you’d sing beyond the genius of the sea

And ain’t it so sad
At the Marienbad
I remember so clear just how it should be
Just you and me 1913

And isn’t it sad
At the marienbad
I can’t remember so clear just how it should be
Just you and me 1913
