• Our father who art in heaven
  Stay there
  And we will stay here on earth
  Which is sometimes so pretty
  • Pater Noster

• An orange on the table
  Your robe on the carpet
  And you in my bed
  Sweet present of the present
  Coolness of the night
  Warmth of my life.

  the faint sound of a hard boiled egg firmly cracked on a tin counter

• I am what I am
  I was made this way
  When I want to laugh
  Yes I shriek with laughter
  I love those who love me
  It's my fault
  If they're not the same
  That I love everytime
  I am what I am
  I was made this way
  What more do you want
  What do you want from me
  • Je Suis Comme Je Suis - I Am What I Am
