lyrics

If William Burroughs were here
(guide pour m’orienter) Capo2

[Refrain]
A OOO
Me: If William Burroughs were here today,
He'd guide me on a poetic pathway.
G
His words would echo, profound and true,
D
As we converse in a musical hue.

A OOO
Me: Mr. Burroughs, in this realm we meet,
Where words and music intertwine freely,
What advice do you have for my creative quest?
To delve into the depths, what is your behest?

Burroughs: My dear friend, let your mind roam free,
Break the chains of convention, let your spirit see,
Explore the darkness, embrace the unknown,
Unveil the secrets through the words you've sown.

Me: The rhythm of your prose, like a symphony,
Unveils the secrets of humanity,
How can I merge the melodies and the lines,
To create a masterpiece, where the soul shines?

Burroughs: Merge the music with your poetic might,
Let them dance together like an exquisite flight,
Compose with passion, let your heart be the guide,
And the union of words and melody will collide.

[Refrain]
Me: If William Burroughs were here today,
He'd guide me on a poetic pathway.
His words would echo, profound and true,
As we converse in a musical hue.

Me: Mr. Burroughs, as I wander this artistic trail,
How can I challenge boundaries, never to fail?
To push the limits, to go beyond what's known,
And create a symphony, entirely my own?

Burroughs: Dare to venture where others fear,
Embrace the unconventional, let it be clear,
Break the rules, dismantle the norms,
And in that chaos, a masterpiece forms.

Me: Your words ignite a fire, an untamed desire,
To break free from the chains that hold me prior,
To blend words and melodies, harmonize the two,
And create a composition that's entirely new.

Burroughs: Embrace the dissonance, find beauty within,
In the collision of sounds, let your creativity begin,
Let the music carry your words to distant shores,
Where your poet's heart finds solace evermore.

[Refrain]
