starry musical - impress me lyrics

Loading...

[all]
try to catch our eye
show something that we haven’t seen
and make us feel alive
beyond boredom and vanity
and when i see the skies
remind me what it’s like to be
a person stuck in time
that’s searching for ident-ty
so help me please
impress me

find me in montmartre
high above the madness of paris
step inside
take a break from reality
selling our philosophies
bored with being bourgeoisie

[?]
paris takes itself too seriously

[?]
montmartre’s the only part of the city that gets me

[bernard]
[?]’s reinventing the wheel

[?]
still digging up bits of the bastille

[all]
time to admit this country’s a circus

[?]
there were too many louis

[?]
too many napoleons

[all]
too many choices for future historians
at least in montmartre we get lost on purpose
if you wanted god there’s notre dame
we deal in something different than psalms
found in the p-ssage between brains and heart
montmartre is for art

try to catch our eye
show something that we haven’t seen
and make us feel alive
beyond boredom and vanity
and when i see the skies
remind me what it’s like to be
a person stuck in time
that’s searching for ident-ty
so help me please
impress me

[theo]
galleries are gravity
artists find their way to (?) and see
they say theo, theo
theo van gogh
before you go
let me know
what you think of my paintings
that’s the daily serenade

[all]
’cause selling artwork is your trade

[theo]
paris, the city of light
what do you have for me tonight

[?]
well, here’s a new portrait

[?]
get in line!

[?]
take a look!

[theo]
please friends, one at a time

[?]
a cafe

[?]
a farmer

[?]
a still life with fruit so fresh you can smell it

[?]
it’s cutting edge

[?]
it’s avant-garde

[all]
worthy of the grand boulevard
theo, theo
do you think you can sell it?

[theo]
they wish that i could help but still the answer’s no
i can’t take a chance against the status quo
not everyone gets hung up with the chosen few

[theo and all]
when will i break through?
won’t you help me please

[segatori]
undress me

[theo]
a tempting offer, as always, madame segatori

[segatori]
come come theo, we both know they are not here to behave
they came to montmarte to drink my wine
to get tangled in something clandestine
treat the champs-elysses for cabaret
for bohemia without the beret
you were people minding manners
lower rents with lower standards

[?]
hey

[?]
not that low

[segatori]
spend a franc on a late night tryst

[?]
save a few coins for my canvas?

[segatori]
c’est va?

[all]
find us in montmartre
p-ssing all our worries away

[segatori]
at the tambourin cafe
who knows what tomorrow will bring
until then

[segatori and theo]
we want the same thing

[all]
to seize the day
to find our way
to understand
to find a man
to ease the pain
to entertain

[gauguin]
to forget about the past few centuries

[all]
to make history
for curiosity
c’est la vie!

[?]
to be free

[all]
to be free

[theo]
sure as the p-ssage of the river seine
the future will be forged with brushes, pencils, and pens

[theo and all]
if paris is the world, montmartre is bethlehem
and art is our amends

try to catch our eye
show something that we haven’t seen
and make us feel alive
beyond boredom and vanity
and when i see the skies
remind me what it’s like to be
a person stuck in time
that’s searching for ident-ty
so help me please
impress me
help me please
impress me
help me please
impress me
