AQUA GARDEN
Gotham, that wsa like if it was Gotham / Without superhero and evil nor even bad / no cat. Needless to say no woman as cat / Woman as normal - no - they weren't neither. / All by myself I walked streets and alleys / Gotham has that to offer.
APPLE O'HARA & AQUA GARDEN
That and buildings. /
AQUA GARDEN
I took that and that and got gothamed all right. //
APPLE O'HARA
Sky is way too grey to get a ray or holyday /
AQUA GARDEN
There're some de Chirico white clouds /
APPLE O'HARA
It is a roaring day, no match to sun /
AQUA GARDEN
One edge is painted, this is my luck, but / A fist stroke brought all the lines down /// Mouth wide open forces my eyes to close / My chin is up tasting the air and the waste / Falling on my tongue is concrete / At first, textured, and then, powdered. /

I stood up and closed my hand on a dot / It was still echoing the painter's fist shot /
APPLE O'HARA
I stumbled, feeling like a "loosey" leaf. / Didn't I find myself where I expected too / Didn't find myself at all, lost in Gotham / Gotham has that to offer,

APPLE O'HARA
And there you were / Sweet little boy of mine / Dearest child, I
adore / Looking at your dad, from your height / Like if one of
those superheroes of yours / Appeared. / You were afraid of
closing your eyes /
LÉON HORIZON
YES, I WAS.
APPLE O'HARA
You were afraid of closing your eyes / For what appears in a blink /
Can vanishes as quick /
AQUA GARDEN
He knew that...
APPLE O'HARA
You already know that / You would frown your eyebrowns / If a
magical fairy was to land on your arm / And tell you so. / But you
don't believe in fairies existence / You would, you wouldn't allow
them to breathe / Superman is there and no place does remains. /
AQUA GARDEN
Your head...
APPLE O'HARA
And my head travels the clouds, travels the clouds /

GODS' SHADOWS!
APPLE O'HARA
Gods' shadows brought by the wind / Pour out from the Earth / From my window, a scream of terror "strufled" my body / And my cheek met the window, it was so cold / You never looked at that window; your eyes were thinking / But you were blinded by... /

GODS' SHADOWS!
APPLE O'HARA
I saw the blur o' my face through that window / Yes, 'cause
that window was all I had / That and shame, / That and
shyness...
AQUA GARDEN
That and shame, / That and shyness...
APPLE O'HARA
And the terrible apprehension of another "struftling"... /// He took
one step forward / I saw one of your cheek moves as if it has been
pinched / As if the wind had took a bite o' it //
LÉON HORIZON
APPLE O'HARA
He took one more step forward / So I thought, so you thought / but he didn't stop, he wouldn't stop, he was going / And you had to do something, I know, I knew / And "struftle"... against that window / Both of my hand holding its frames / I saw the blur o' my face / i saw the o(n) yours / he wasn't flying /
LÉON HORIZON
APPLE O'HARA
No, he wasn't flying...
LÉON HORIZON
APPLE O'HARA
He wasn't flying / Wasn't climbing / wasn't saving... / Any poor soul. I HIT THE WINDOW'S FRAME OF BOTH MY FISTS // He wasn't there anymore... / You were looking down, at your shoes / Like if they were glued to the ground /
LÉON HORIZON
Mud snaking all over my shoes... down, beside, and over...
down, beside, and over...
AQUA GARDEN
Shyness...
APPLE O'HARA
Oh! Shyness...
LÉON HORIZON
I WAS SCARE!
APPLE O'HARA
Through my pain and tears, through that window and the wind /
I saw the rain paint your face with distress / I HIT THE
WINDOW'S FRAME WITH BOTH MY FISTS! //
AQUA GARDEN
Shyness...
AQUA GARDEN
Oh! Shyness... / You dried your face with the bottom of your
jacket's sleeve /
LÉON HORIZON
YES! I rememb'...
APPLE O'HARA
The blur upon your face...
LÉON HORIZON
APPLE O'HARA
No, he's not looking back / he won't look back / You don't know / What to say
AQUA GARDEN
What to say... /
APPLE O'HARA
You don't know what to say, where to go, what to think /
AQUA GARDEN
Nothing's happening.
APPLE O'HARA
AND''''
LÉON HORIZON
APPLE O'HARA
YOU're shocked, in pain, and empty / Oh! "struftle"! /// Maybe someday you'll have a word of your own, /
LÉON HORIZON
APPLE O'HARA
But for now / you sweet little boy of mine / But for now, you sweet little boy / Dearest child I adore / you have to know that... ///
APPLE O'HARA
Shut...
APPLE O'HARA
Fairies 'o exist / I felt my foot slipped in the clear / I travelled over clouds, swam over sky / And land on your shoulder, to tell / YOU: / You don't need no that / You don't need no big arms / No strong legs, you don't need / No all that, you don't need / No diploma, nor athletic skills / NO!
AQUA GARDEN & APPLE O'HARA
This is not what you need! /
AQUA GARDEN
It's not what you need /
APPLE O'HARA
Life's not about superheroes // Though it is mysterious /
AQUA GARDEN
Shyness...
AQUA GARDEN
Oh! Shyness / But also it is great and thrilling / It's a vivid animal, a spicy meal / You need to run after it /
AQUA GARDEN
Run after it... /
