Les Enfants Terribles past-members-nav-header

I’d like to think that I have tied to play the game that life provides
pretty well up until now, but things have change I don’t know how
I’m surprised the wrold’s survived the way most people live their lives
Someday you may realize all those people telling lies

Walking down the street
I’m amazed by all the different
people that I meet
saying things to me, I don’t know why

And I don’t know why she left me here alone to cry
And I don’t know why without my girl I think I’ll die

I guess I’ll have to look again and hope that I can find a friend
I don’t know what to believe. Seems to me that it’s a dream
Another tiem I might agree, but it’s too late as you can see
And I think it’s up to me to decide my destiny

Strolling in the sun
Making fun of everyone that I don’t want to see
They ask me if I sleep
I don’t. No. Why?

And I don’t know why no one ever smiles at me
And I don’t know why all those people laugh at me

(Solo)

Met a girl the other day, wish I knew just what to say
Instead I turned and ran away, then she called me up to say
Could we maybe find some time, and I said I thought that was fine
Since that day I can see, things are looking up for me

Rolling right along
I wish that I could find the time to
travel here and travel there, do
everything I can before i die

And I don’t know why all those people lied to me
And I don’t know why with everybody’s scared of me
