Like silent movie stars in 60's Hollywood
00:14
No one knows who you are in the hipster neighborhood
00:21
Your only friend is a memory of a dream
00:28
Walking down the Strip looking for the latest scene
00:35
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
00:41
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
00:46
I wish I lived my life free and easier
00:53
I need to find a new Bohemia
01:00
Hot on the heels of the absolute last chance
01:08
I watched them trying out something new from France
01:14
Kamikaze eyes locked in a trance
01:21
Improvising a wild hypnotic dance
01:28
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
01:35
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
01:40
I wish I lived my life free and easier
01:46
I need to find a new Bohemia
01:53
Every day is a warning evening might forget
02:01
Then the following morning has the sweet smell of regret
02:08
I'm always in love, I'm easily led
02:15
My life is a mess, like an unmade bed
02:20
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
02:24
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
02:30
I wish I lived my life free and easier
02:36
I need to find a new Bohemia
02:43
Where are they now?
02:49
Where have they gone?
02:53
Who dances now to their song?
02:56
I wish I lived my life free and easier
03:03
I'm on my way to a new Bohemia
03:09
