CLEAR IT AWAY (Verlaine)

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here
the main draw, as they say
But such contraction is hard to bear
Let's clear it away
I used to crack a lot of safes
Now, here I am dealing scrap
It's a living but not a life.
What a beautiful trap
Let's clear it away

Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here
and there you are in search of novelty
You take a big bite of your appetite
and then you tell me that I'm starving - Oh no
Let's clear it away
clear it away
Well, the ruins are the big attraction around here
