Tore Down a la Rimbaud

[Verse 1]

Showed me pictures in the gallery

Showed me novels on the shelf

Put my hands across the table

Gave me knowledge of myself

[Verse 2]

Showed me visions, showed me nightmares

Gave me dreams that never end

Showed me light out of the tunnel

When there was darkness all around instead

[Chorus]

I was just tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my message would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud

You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard sometime

[Verse 3]

Showed me ways and means and motions (Show me)

Showed me what it's like to be (Show me)

Gave me days of deep devotions

Showed me things I cannot see

[Chorus]

When I was tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my purpose would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud

You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard sometime

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]

Showed me different shapes and colours (Show me)

Showed me many different roads (Show me)

Gave me very clear instructions

When I was in the dark night of the soul

[Chorus]

When I was tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my writing would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud

You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard sometime (Let's sing)

Tore down a la Rimbaud

And I wish my writing would come

Tore down a la Rimbaud

You know it's hard sometime, you know it's hard sometime

[Outro]

Hard sometime (You know it's hard sometime)

Tore down (Uh huh, torn down) a la Rimbaud

A la Rimbaud (Uh huh, you know it's hard sometime)

I was tore down (Tore down)

A la Rimbaud (Uh huh, you know it's hard sometime)

A la Rimbaud (Tore down, uh huh)

(Torn down)
