lyrics

i have been told
see life like what it is
i have been taught
not to believe in dreams
i must admit
i never really understood
what these words meant
at all

so i skipped
every similar step
just to test
to shift for myself
just to build
a cool world of my own
a place to call
home


one foot in the gutter
one foot in the clouds
some say one's worth
the other
but i'd rather stay high
one foot in the gutter
one foot in the
clouds
waiting for both
to leave the ground


still enslaved
by their traditions
which don't reflect
my pale reflection
i will struggle
like the very devil
until i can take off

let me come
out of these quicksands
& be
someone
at least to myself
help me build
a cool world of my own
& you will be welcome


one foot in the gutter
one foot in the clouds
some say one's worth
the other
but i do need to stay high
one foot in the gutter
one foot in the
clouds
waiting for both
to leave the ground


i'll let the light
invade my mind
& see life thru
firefleyes
getting lost
in the skies
brighter than the moon
at night
seeing life thru
firefleyes
spark a fire
in my mind

GOOMH now emerges as a power trio: Alexis, singer and guitarist supported by Julien on bass and Nicolas on drums. They deliver an atypical music where violence, sensitivity, overdrive and crazy rhythms collide.
