I cannot believe my luck I cannot believe it still There is a happiness beyond meaning I don't have to take my life for ontology I can just be mortal, godless, and free No more time for a great incoherence False hope, straining for the impossible This revelation keeps one forever bound Kept within a courtyard of infinite liberty The goalkeeper is beaming Refused to grant a meaning To living But it's not what you think When you're living in a city When you're living in a city Transient flats in the middle of a city Working hard just to live mechanically Comes back, and you sit down at that table Comes back, every day at the same table And you shout: "I want everything explained to me!" "Or I don't want anything explained to me!" I believe that this denial precedes freedom And I believe that other ends negate that freedom And the universe of the anthill Is not the universe of the dog or the office worker In the inside out Nothing is distinct Bodies of water are bottomless And do not cast a reflection He lost his child And the worn in his heart has undermined him The feeling of weariness had not come From a logical progress But can the fear of the 'what' O the 'What does it all mean' And the 'Why do I go on living' Be counteracted by negation and then rebellion? In the old black box There are only lost causes And leaps of faith To falsehoods or a ridiculous wilderness But there's a finite type of joy In the wreckage of a Facel Vega in Villeblevin In impenetrable beams of a coffin Things are in vain, things are in season I accept the open-minded and play sports I regress in solitude for no reason But one must imagine me happy
