On The Boulevard I George Wallace & Electronic Friends

Описание: ON THE BOULEVARD (3:40)
it is finally happening, the office workers are glad,
the salesgirls in their plate glass windows look out
and are glad, glad, smile, spring is liquid and clean
and everybody tipsy and alive, loosening up, on the
boulevard, a line of strollers thin as a long-stemmed
rose, on the boulevard, the great true geometry of joy,
aware of its unearned reputation, kindness and flowers,
lovers gazing at each other, the ultimate justification,
the daily news, dizzy with a moment that can't be shared,
though it belongs to everyone, dizzy with spring! on the
move, working its magic in the bright little cathedral of
cafes that line the street, the endless cliches, delicious,
setting out silverware and the new architecture of you,
loosening up, loosening up, professional women walking
side by side, easy with their hair, the lonely little men stirring
coffee cups with a hopeful little spoon, and a loose page of
newspaper print spinning like a movie reel, holding commerce
with the wind -- crank down the awning, raise up the flag --
the women, the men, the workers in the kitchen laughing and
sweating and unaccountably alive, even the dishwasher makes
commerce with the chef, and the waiters are gathered like geese
in the doorway plotting great escapes, great escapes, spreading
their wings. on the boulevard, the boulevard, and the language
of the street is cherry blossom pink, and the new lost city's wearing
a wardrobe of flowers, a geometry of flowers, loosening up
