Lyrics
des Champs-Élysées
walking down Paris street I don't know what year in time
Gertrude Stein was talking to me while Alice trailed behind
telling me of roses as we passed Picassos flat
weeping women looked at me wearing a bright red hat
SHIFTING THROUGH SPACE AND TIME
FLYING DOWN DES CHAMPS ELYSEE
I woke up the next morning there were paintings on the wall
something was firmilliar i recognized them all
as i held the painter's brush and every stroke was real
painting with my eyes shut tight painting just by feel
SHIFTING THROUGH SPACE AND TIME
FLYING DOWN DES CHAMPS ELYSEE
i once lived in paris if only in a dream
sold my work on street corners in the city steam
the misty night and fantacy an my imagining
was like a real journey of remembering
SHIFTING THROUGH SPACE AND TIME
FLYING DOWN DES CHAMPS ELYSEE
