"A New Bohemia" lyrics
Like silent-movie stars in 60s' Hollywood
No one knows who you are in the hipster neighbourhood
Your only friend is a memory of a dream
Walking down the Strip
Looking for the latest scene
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Hot on the heels of the absolute last chance
I watched them trying out something new from France
Kamikaze eyes locked in a trance
Improvising a wild hypnotic dance
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Every day is a warning evening might forget
Then the following morning has the sweet smell of regret
I'm always in love
I'm easily led
My life is a mess
Like an unmade bed
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Where are they now?
Where have they gone?
Who dances now to their song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I'm on my way to a new bohemia
No one knows who you are in the hipster neighbourhood
Your only friend is a memory of a dream
Walking down the Strip
Looking for the latest scene
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Hot on the heels of the absolute last chance
I watched them trying out something new from France
Kamikaze eyes locked in a trance
Improvising a wild hypnotic dance
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Every day is a warning evening might forget
Then the following morning has the sweet smell of regret
I'm always in love
I'm easily led
My life is a mess
Like an unmade bed
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Where are they now?
Where have they gone?
Who dances now to their song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I'm on my way to a new bohemia
