Ah Rose, c'est la vie! Things are not all they appear to be,
your mackerals are shining, your birds' nests are flying,
to be free.
Ah Rose, c'est la vie! your tears are the star nests of
cosmic seas,
the laughter of lobsters escaping the lobsterpots,
no one hears.
Everyone hides, from death on all sides, to think of it drives them insane, it's just how it is.
Ah Rose, c'est la vie, we draw out our senses for all to see,
divining and striving, patching and darning our meagre dreams!
everyone hides from death on all sides, to think of it drives them insane, it's just how it is.
Ah Rose, c'est la vie, things are not all they appear to be, your mackerals are shining your birdsnests are flying to be free,
Everyone hides, it's just how it is,
Everyone hides, it's just how it is.
