dance avec les nuages

I don't wanna be funny anymore.
I don't wanna be funny anymore. 
Lately, I've been feeling like the odd man out.
I hurt my friends saying things I don't mean out loud.

I don't wanna be funny anymore. 
I got a too short skirt, maybe I can be the cute one.
Is there room in the band? I don't need to be the front man. 
If not, then I'll be the biggest fan. 

I don't want the joke to be on me.
Yeah, I'll buy the clothes and I'll be the best dressed.
Yeah, I'll read the books and I'll be the smartest.
I'll play guitar and I'll be the artist. 

Try not to laugh.
I know it'll be hard.
I'm serious.
I know it's a first but...

I don't wanna be funny anymore.
I'll be the gossip, hear it through the grape vine.
Pass it on, she's done with the old times.
That funny girl doesn't wanna smile for a while. 

I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore

Lyrics:

Maybe I'd be better off in Berlin
Or as an artist’s muse in London
Drifting from hand to hand
Maybe I was born to be a sailor,
Drop my anchors in Antigua
As a travelling fisherman

But I am home wherever you are near
There's no life in anything
When you're not here

What could take my love away?

Maybe I was destined for philosophy
Leading leftist ideologies
At the Paris-Sorbonne
Dreaming up the splendid demise
Of the societies we despise
At Cafe de Flore

But these things lose all their meaning
And allure
If you're not there to
Witness the grandeur

What could take my love away?

Maybe we'll be missionaries in the Congo
Revolutionaries in Cuba
Perhaps we'll build a home
In the shadows of the forest
Along the east coast, or the west coast
I forget where we decided

As long as I'm with you when we do it
I could trade the views in
For any pallet

Nothing can take my love away
Nothing can take my love away

The Only Thing
