lyrics

You bought the wrong ticket, you missed the last train
You once saw a bus stop, but it's lost in the rain
As you stand on the corner of confused and alone
Excuse moi, s'il vous plaît, je veux rentrer á la maison,

And you go round and round in circles, and try to follow your feet.
You try to speak the language, but everyone you meet doesn't understand, doesn't comprehend,
Je veux parler anglais. Pouvez-vous maider? Je suis perdu.

And you've made no progress, you've gone nowhere,
You're a vagabond ghost, no one sees you at all,
And all you're trying to do now is make peace with Montréal

Its cloudy and windy, no one on the street,
A thin denim jacket provides insufficient heat.
You don't know where you're going and you don't know where you've been,
Ou est le boulevard Saint Laurent?

And you've made no progress, you've gone nowhere,
You're a vagabond ghost, no one sees you at all,
And all you're trying to do now is make peace with Montréal

Your patience is short, but the buildings are tall.
The faster you skate, the harder you fall.
Stroke and glide, it's not raining inside...

The only solution is try to find cheer.
Discover some culture as long as you're here.
Sweet home California is waiting for you,
But for now, just relax, and enjoy the view
Of Montréal
