lyrics

La Joie de Vivre was all it took
To finally read the goddamn book
To walk the green and swim the brine
And drown the rest in Spanish wine

La Joie de Vivre, I’m glad you came
To fling the windows open to the rain
You’re mine to gain and mine to grieve
To live my life or live la joie de vivre

La Joie de Vivre, you came at last
To crack the present from its cast
To see my vision followed through
To hear my heart and speak its truth

La Joie de Vivre, I’m on the run
To chase you ever on into the sun
With one more trick left up my sleeve
I disappear into la joie de vivre

La Joie de Vivre, you’re all I got
Beside the premise and the plot
I marked my turf, but clipped my claws
And never did what never was

La Joie de Vivre, I wonder why
You never called me after I dropped by
Where can I find you when you leave to go your way alone,
la Joie de Vivre?
From Tokyo to Tel Aviv, I’d roam the earth to find you,
Joie de Vivre
