FLIGHT TICKET
Twenty thousand feet
above the black ocean
without a shaddow of the moon's smile
walkman over the ears
there's no room for my feet
I'd want to die for an hour,
or to just sleep
A perfumed, Italian shoulder wakes me
he's sure that I'm French
so I pretend I am
until the end I mumble "oui"
I create a new identity for him
You bought me a flight ticket
I needed something strong to forget
two weeks there is like a month here
you said "there, it'll be easier for you to forgive..."
Roberto introduces himself before me
invites me for a cup after we land
I have no strength to argue
I've never been strong in my loneliness
Shots at the bar, my knees tremble
on TV it looks less painfull
he rushes to pour me more wine
he flaps his hands like a conductor
in the key of the heart
You bought me a flight ticket...
