Flight Of The Conchords

Rambling Through The Avenues Of Time

LRC： 朱古力 制作

i was wandering through the streets of the city

rambling through the avenues of time

when from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl

and by chance her eyes fell onto mine

so i sat and acted all non-nonchalant

she smoked her lavender cigarette

reading the future that lay in my hands

my shadow played a bass clarinet

(where you going with this bret?)

we waltzed down a moonlight boulevard

just two silhouettes in the mist

(ah yes)

days went by and years went by

moments went by when we kissed

(when was this?)

she said your beard is woven of heartache

and we'll drink for the lonely tonight

and the moon is a horny old drunkard

(uh bret, could you please move over to your right?)

we drank dandelion wine and we reminisced

about the moment we first met that day

(i'm trying to watch tv)

then we reminisced about how we first reminisced

(oh yeah? sounds a bit gay)

she handed me a broken memory

a keepsake to forever most say?

a brief taste of love is as sweet as any

and with that she made her way

(oh yeah? what was her name?)

she said her name was a secret

then she said her name was cherie

(was her middle name cherie

so it's a secret cherie maybe?)

mm, maybe

(what'd she look like?)

she looked like a parisian river

(what dirty?)

she looked like a chocolate eclair

(that's rare)

her eyes were reflections of eyes

(oh nice)

and the rainbows danced in her hair

(aw yeah)

she reminded me of winter's morning

(what frigid?)

her perfume as eau de toilette

(what's that mean?)

she was comparable to cleopatra

(quite old)

she's like shakespeare's juliette

(what thirteen?)

the bohemians of soho did pirouettes

as we waltzed through the streets of manhattan

on rivers of ribbon and sailboats of song

there's a girl i described

she's as real as the wind

it's true i saw her today

the other details are inventions

because i prefer her that way.
