Let’s go on an adventure

Let’s conquer this beach, then the sea, then the world

Can you feel the earth stir?

As I stroll down the city and we run down the path

Backs to the sun, hair flying in the breeze

Your fingers ‘round my neck make my whole body freeze

Oh dear, I am so spent now

Not a diamond on my wrist, not a dime in my purse

Still got enough for a Monaco though

We’re right on time for the sunset evening show

On the beach cigarette between your teeth

I feel you hold me harder as you take another drag

This is the start of freedom

And the money, and the struggle, and the choices

Trouble is when you’re free, you’re exposed to the blows baby

At least I got my shield

It’s all kept away behind

Who cares about the real world?

I’m drifting home with the tide

I’m drifting home with the tide

I’m drifting home with the tide

Let’s cause a little trouble

We could play a game of kiss & run

It’s like I can see the future

‘Cause somehow I know you’ve already won

Boy, I know you’ll leave me

I know you’re just teasing

There’s no use in tryna please ya, keep ya

I’m just gonna do what I know how to do best

I’ll see ya on the shore, I’ll wear my Sunday best for you

I’ll have enough for a Monaco then

Right on time for the sunset on the seine

By the bridge, looking very Parisienne

I know you want me hardest so I’ll let you have me now

This is the start of freedom

And the money, and the struggle, and the choices

Trouble is when you’re free, you’re exposed to the blows baby

At least I got my shield

It’s all kept away behind

Who cares about the real world?

I’m drifting home with the tide

I’m drifting home with the tide

I’m drifting home with the tide

Moi je joue

Juste pour perdre

Moi je joue

Juste pour te plaire

I hear a sad sax song

It’s playing in the cites and the forests

The melody’s so wrong

You can see in the ripples of the torrent

This is the start of freedom

And the money, and the struggle, and the choices

Trouble is when you’re free, you’re exposed to the blows baby

At least I got my shield

It’s all kept away behind

Who cares about the real world?

I’m drifting home with the tide

I’m drifting home with the tide

I’m drifting home with the tide
