La Jetée Lyrics

A man and his youth
You are who you were
Men in white, whispers in the dark
You are who you were
Moscow in my ear whispering fear
Paris burns underground
Paris sleeps just underground
Chorus:
So tie me down
Send me away from here
When nothing makes sense but stilling memories in your head
Let me go, find a way on our own
But, just wait for me with hair-in-wind
Hands-in-teeth, for nothing else
Hey maker, I think I was meant for this
A frozen sun, a woman's face are all I have, are all I need
You were who you were then we met in the silence and peace
You're quiet, eyes are tame

Chorus

Take your peacetime needs, let go of me
Take your peacetime hopes and bury them
Take your peacetime love and marry her
Take your peacetime wants and tie me down
Take your peacetime life and reassess
Take your peacetime hopes and swallow hard
Take your peace time thoughts and all of your peacetime memories
And don't tell a soul
Chorus
