Like silent movie stars
in 60s Hollywood
No one knows who you are
in the hipster neighbourhood
Your only friend
is a memory of a dream
Walking down the Strip
looking for the latest scene
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Hot on the heels
of the absolute last chance
I watched them trying out
something new from France
Kamikaze eyes
locked in a trance
Improvising
a wild hypnotic dance
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Every day is a warning
evening might forget
Then the following morning has
the sweet smell of regret
I’m always in love
I’m easily led
My life is a mess
like an unmade bed
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
Where are they now?
Where have they gone?
Who dances now to their song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I’m on my way to a new bohemia
