Blue Arrow Suite (Original London Cast Recording)

September 28th, 1997. It is exactly 5 pm. Near the ghost train, the marshmallow twister is twisting. Meanwhile, on a bench in Villette Square, Félix Lerbier learns there are more links in his brain than atoms in the universe. Meanwhile, at the Sacré-Cœur, the monks are practicing their back-hands. The temperature is 24°C, humidity 70%, atmospheric pressure 999 millibars

Follow the blue arrows, Mr. Quincampoix

There on the hill

There sits a great cathedral

Where I've left a trail

But it only goes so far

Here I can keep him moving forward

And keep things as they were

Halfway to love

And just close enough

To Sacré-Cœur

I know my heart

Is speaking with a murmur

Making a sound

That only I can hear

All I can manage is a whisper

Of this heartbeat trapped inside

Here in this place

Grant me the grace

To be amplified

The secret to life

Is to leave a trail of breadcrumbs

If I lose my way I can always turn around

So I’ll keep one eye on the window

And one foot out the door

Halfway to love

And just close enough

To Sacré-Cœur

A-ah aaah a-ah

Aaha-ah a-ah a-ah

Wait! Stay there! Stay. Put

A-ah aaah a-ah

Aaha-ah a-ah a-ah

I can stay right here

All I have to do is stay

If I stay right here

Maybe I can solve this lifelong problem

All I have to do right now is stay

Just stay right here

Here he comes

Screw that

Run away!

(Ah ah) a-ah aaaha-ah

Aaha-ah a-ah a-aaaaaaaaah
