Rhododendrons |
| On the hottest night of the year |
| Lying in a patch of rhododendrons |
| A bottle of whiskey under my arm |
| Trying to count a sky full of stars |
| I dream of order, I dream of fleets |
| Of Napoleon in aquamarine |
| He said «Linus put that blanket down |
| You’ve slammed your door too many times» |
| He said «Linus put that blanket down |
| The world won’t wait» |
| Boy, what you gonna do with your life? |
| When I was your age, I was commanding fleets |
| When I was your age, I was soaked in victory |
| And now you can’t keep a job and you can’t keep a wife |
| What a horrible mess you’re gonna make of your life |
| Watched way too many American films |
| To be John Wayne, Brando or James Dean |
| Waiting so long for your wrists to get thick |
| Waiting so long for the next great party |
| So many questions, so little to say |
| You don’t need these weights |
| Boy, what you gonna do with your life? |
| So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer |
| Want to be remembered for what you could create |
| So you want to be a cowboy, riding to the distance |
| Never have to listen or answer to anyone |
| So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts |
| Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit |
| Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you? |
| Is your pain more worthy than everybody else? |
| Drunk again in the rhododendrons |
