The Ticket puncher of Lilas

The ticket puncher of Lilas

German Arce Ross 2022

I'm the ticket puncher at Lilas
To whom the passengers pay no regard
There's no sunshine in this Metro station
A strange vacation
To kill the boredom in my vest
I've extracts from Readers Digest


And this book says to me
That life is just a ball in Miami
And all the while I'm working like a slave
Down in this cave

Under this white tile sky
The only things that shine are exit signs
At times I dream I go into a daze
And in the haze
The railway platform is a quay
A boat is coming to get me

(Serge Gainsbourg 1959)
