I never knew what a man was supposed to be
i never wanted the responsability
i still remember what they tried to make of me
they used to wonder why
they couldn´t get through me
´cause all that i had was this music
a-coming to me
and all that i had was this rhythm
a-running through me

i took a tip
from the man from the ministry
he said, "my son, better work in the factory"
well there were days
i can tell you quite honestly
i saw myself winding up in the military
so lucky to have all, this music
a-coming to me
i´m lucky to have all this rhythm
a-running through me
i´m watching the movie go down
go down about me
i´m watching the merry-go round
go down about me

i saw lovers, you´re needed in the garden
´cause there´s a lot of crazy people
who´ve forgotten where their heart is
and they don´t give a damn
about hurting those flowers and those trees

c´est le bon, sailing on and on
c´est le bon, sailing on and on...

sometimes i wonder where my life is taking me
sometimes i wonder what they all expect of me
well there are days i can tell you quite honestly
i see myself ending up in the monastery

´cause all that i have is this music
a-coming to me
and all that i have is this rhythm
a-running through me
i´m watching the movie go down
around about me
i´m watching the merry-go-round
go down about me

i said "lovers, you´re needed in the garden
´cause there´s a lot of crazy people
who´ve forgotten where their heart is
and they don´t give a damn
about hurting that small child in me"

c´est le bon, sailing on and on
c´est le bon, sailing on and on...
