<b>city flowers</b> by <i>Machiavel</i><br />(Roland De Greef - Marc Ysaye - Mario Guccio -

Albert Letecheur - Jean Paul Devaux)

They grow everywhere in the city

Like weeds in a daisy field

They grow everyday in the city

They’re all around you

They are encercling you

Just like a prey, day after day

Their silhouette deforms the skyline

Keeping the sun from shining

The sunbeams edge right and left in search of the way

And finally finish their life as giant shadows

Shadows of concrete

Shadows of sadness

I don’t wanna see all these shadows

Twenty years of my life are gone

And since I’ve been here

I’m looking through the window of my room

In search of the sun, of the moon, of a hill of a river, of a glade

But all around me there is only

Odour of concrete

Colour of sadness

The city flowers are in power

Odour of concrete

Colour of sadness

I don’t wanna see all these towers around me

Walking all alone in a long long a long white corridor

So alone on this floor

I hear people cry in the flat number 9

I hear people laugh in the flat numbert 6

Walking all alone in a long long long white corridor

So alone on this floor

I hear people cry in the flat number 9

I hear people laugh in the flat number 6

Walking all alone in a long long long white corridor

So alone on this floor

I hear words of love

I hear words of hate

I hear daily words

Going down in a dark narrow lift

So alone in that lift

I hear people cry on the floor number 5

I hear people laugh on the floor number 4

I hear words of love

I hear words of hate

I hear daily words

On the floor numbert 3

number 2

number 1

Now I’m out

I’m free
