Now that you see it|Now that it's there|It's changing its shape|in your hand||Now that you have it|It's bound to disappear|Bound to just slip|through your fingers|like sand||Louis, Louis |Why all these foreign words|For all these simple things|Louis, Louis|Haven't this troubled world|Yet taught you anything|Anything at all ||You climb to the rooftops|You yell to the sky|Now you're entirely sure||Landscapes and sunsets|Pass you by |I disappear through the cracks|in your floor
