I've got the incredible map of a land Where ghost and children dancing hand in hand This land is living through a door in the space And this space is placed between your nose and your hairs A word you have to say to come in and play Find it in those crazy words that I'm gonna say Inbaligogoloozoodabalinogiladacenceabiganabooboobabibobo Inbaligogoloozoodabalinogiladacenceabigana to come in here You were one of us a long time ago Remember the good fun we shared together In our heads we had nothing but games We saw the stars dancing with the sun World was simple, life beautiful You still got this light in your eyes The day was timeless A wonderful quest We discovered life in a cloud We just waited for a new dawn arise Not in a hurry, day comes to an end We just sing about the secret of life The way you see it is the way you enjoy the world World of hopes and dreams Never look back boy, never look back Run and play Bye bye my sweet little land

Harpo 04:15
Harpo, in your pocket something sparkling Harpo, a little piece of what we're searching Harpo, in our pockets we got nothing Harpo, we need your tools to build our things Harpo, a world for those who never grow up Harpo, a quiet and silent place to dream on Harpo, and think about the men we could be Harpo, we dress as men to be nothing Harpo, there's not enough cream on my birthday cake Harpo, how could I throw it to someone's face Harpo, time's playing hide and seek with my head Harpo, I've finished counting is it too late ? Harpo, there's really too much noise in our heads Harpo, now I can understand your silence Harpo, come back and take us by the hand Harpo, no no no no no No matter how long But I hope some people realize it's a world of children No matter how come But I hope some people understand that we need much more fun And at the speed of time There is a ghost in your head Getting ready to growl And finally, you, the kid, you're down in a hole

Someone that I love is gone forever I'm not sad I know he's flying higher now On a stellar horse, Indian of a stars I can hear him laugh, on my sleepless dreamful nights Goodbye little boy, keep an eye on my life If I'm getting old, come back and kick my sad ass Goodbye little boy, there is no way to step back If I'm getting lost, just light a star on summer No don't dress as a ghost I'm still afraid of the dark Please run away from this world Run, please my boy Just run away I remember when the dogs were all your brothers At this time for you death was for older people And all the plans we've made for our wonderful future None of them will be it was just a freaking nightmare for me Goodbye little boy, keep your hands on my eyes If I'm getting old, come back and kick my sad ass Goodbye little boy, there is no way to step back Goodbye little boy Goodbye my little

There's a lot of advice I could give you to make it good Show you so many ways to fight when the darkness will hit you too How hard could be your life I won't tell no lies You'll have to laugh a lot, yes there'll be light coming out from your mouth You'll have to laugh a lot, this is the only way to make it good You'll have to laugh a lot You'll have to laugh a lot Nothing stands forever boy you gotta write it in your mind Even life has to end and it's gonna hurt you so bad So smile anyway when your heart cries out Now you know you only live once Time is the same for you and I I won't tell no lies How hard could be your life So now it's time to be mad You'll have to laugh a lot, nothing can stop me having a big laugh with you You'll have to laugh a lot, this is the only way to make it good You'll have to laugh a lot You'll have to laugh a lot Make your tears go back in the land of smile You'll have to laugh a lot, yes there'll be light coming out from your mouth You'll have to laugh a lot, it's all you got to fight back the deepest pain You'll have to laugh a lot, smile away You'll have to laugh a lot

I begin this little song telling you One spicy thing or two Everywhere I'll go, anywhere I've been Without a Daddy I'll never know what shaving like a Daddy is A kid becomes a man when he's shaving like his Daddy My friends David and Dale shaving like their Daddy I'll never know what shaving like a Daddy is Being a male lying to be so strong Women are much stronger than you When the coward meets the mirror He feels all alone, all alone Sometimes I see some good Daddies Playing and laughing with their babies These scenes make me cry and hope that All the fathers in the world love their children I'll never know what shaving like a Daddy is A kid becomes a man when he's shaving like his Daddy My friends David and Dale shaving like their Daddy I'll never know what shaving like a Daddy is I'll never know what shaving like a Daddy is A kid becomes a man when he's shaving like his Daddy My friends David and Dale shaving like their Daddy I'll never know what shaving like a Daddy is Love you Mummy

Look around they're telling me Our world is dying Whatever that means I look around all I can see is you and I Whatever that means Some bloody stars can hit the sky I've got your heart Whatever that means An army of shadows can burn our land I'll see their fire in your eyes Whatever that means Pray Maybe life will give our love a chance to live anyway Whatever that means Maybe love will give our life a chance to stay as today If life is choosing what our love can be Just take my hand Whatever that means There's no need to plan a destiny It's writing on today Whatever that means Now you see baby that some people love to break The purest things Whatever that means But we know a place in a faraway space Just grab my hair Whatever that means Maybe life will give our love a chance to live anyway Whatever that means Maybe love will give our life a chance to stay as today

It was on Saturday That day the summer reigned I was taking a break And felt a bit depressed Then came this unexpected sound From behind that dirty wall Few kids were playing around Soldiers and magicians Dragons flying in line I saw their wonderland Then one of them got close to me Sir, would you play the dead old tree ? Killed by a kid Wasn't prepared to If life could help me remember for a minute That kids can hurt us too I took my jacket off And threw my tie and phone My new friends had a laugh As they see me jump and roll My problems seemed so far away Oh how I wished I could stay there Then came suspicious eyes A lady passing by Our laugh was a bit too loud The witch called 911 And then the cops arrested me Freedom is only in our dreams Killed by a kid Wasn't prepared to If life could help me remember for a minute That kids can hurt us too

I have burnt all my money It couldn't help reaching my goal For a moment I've regretted it But I've had a vision in the smoke A sunny enlightened highway And the time became the road A pure light on my baby We're driving free to the unknown The freedom thrills my brain out And my soul cries to that sun No need to find a way out It's time to see what life is made for I see god my brother I see life itself The worst is behind us now Never felt so good before My eyes are about to cry now It's the tears of a newborn Our trip is going to end now I can see the rainy road Now baby take off your seatbelt We're gonna free our souls together Together...

about

The loss of innocence... Oh boy, what a big deal !
Where are they gone ? Where are the stars dancing with the sun ? Where is that beautiful light we've all had in our eyes ?
It's gone ! And it will never come back.
Knowing that, there's only two choices left : cry or laugh.Or both at the same time.
Well, I'd rather have a laugh remembering that temporary state of grace.

This is a tribute to childhood, to where it ends...

Cheers !
