lyrics

Zebra stripes on the asphalt, white shadow of the grasslands. In the middle of traffic, I stand on one side. Waiting for my moment of crossing seems, we are all thinking of horses, of savanna and of streams. I would like to return to this place I’ve never been. Not in a safari sort of way — wearing hats and glasses, peering through binoculars — but with wind and speed, muscles, wild spectaculars.

I am quite well behaved, I know how to restrain a thought. I clean my spoon, my cup, my hair and all the floors. I hold doors for old ladies and help with strollers down the stairs and when I’m angry I smile, I get up and stack the chairs. I would like to return to this place I’ve never been. Not in a safari sort of way — wearing hats and glasses, peering through binoculars — but with wind and speed, muscles, wild spectaculars.

I’m a perfect pedestrian, obeying rules of traffic and of civil law. A lady
of good breeding, with her heart on a leash. I read books and the paper,
I listen to the radio and on Sundays I go to the theater, or a music show.
I would like to return to this place I’ve never been. Not in a safari sort
of way — wearing hats and glasses, peering through binoculars — but with wind and speed, muscles, wild spectaculars.

She takes this very seriously, as she takes the band very seriously and of course the poem, that is Gertrude Stein very seriously. ... more
