TRACY CHAPMAN

Texte : Tracy Chapman – telling stories

Musique : Tracy Chapman – telling stories

There is fiction in the space between the lines of your page of memories
Write it down, but it doesn’t mean you’re not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between you and me

There is fiction in the space between you and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life seem less mundane

There is fiction in the space between, you and me
There’s a science fiction in the space between you and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme, where I am the scary monster

I eat the city and I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There’s no one but you standing

Feel the pity and the pain for the ones who do not speak
You write the words you get respect and compassion and for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between

There is fiction in the space between you and everybody
Give us all what we need, Give us one more sad, sordid story.
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
