Prenons La Mer

Smoky afternoon light
 Got the sun stuck in my eye
 It's shouting from the river
 Then it leaps back in the sky
 Prenons la mer
 Sur les vagues solaires --
 Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere*
 *TRANSLATION:
 "Let us take to the sea
 On waves of sunlight
 You and I among the spirits of light"
 This morning in the past
 Y'know I felt like broken glass
 Now I'm feeling all right
 Knife-sharp as a winter night
 Prenons la mer
 Sur les vagues solaires --
 Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere
 J'ai reve que les abeilles
 Etaient des gouttes de sang du soleil
 Et au ciel des bombardiers
 Pechaient pour nos ames irisees**
 **TRANSLATION:
 "I dreamt that the bees
 Were drops of blood from the sun
 And the bombers in the sky
 Were trawling for our iridescent souls"
 Prenons la mer
 Sur les vagues solaires --
 Toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere
