Paul Simon - Rene & Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War Lyrics
Words & music by paul simonRene and georgette magritteWith their dog after the warReturned to their hotel suiteAnd they unlocked the doorEasily losing their evening clothesThey danced by the light of the moonTo the penguins, the moonglowsThe orioles, and the five satinsThe deep forbidden musicTheyd been longing forRene and georgette magritteWith their dog after the warRene and georgette magritteWith their dog after the warWere strolling down christopher streetWhen they stopped in a mens storeWith all of the mannequins dressed in the styleThat brought tears to their immigrant eyesJust like the penguins, the moonglowsThe orioles, and the five satinsThe easy stream of laughterFlowing through the airRene and georgette magritteWith their dog apres la guerreSide by sideThey fell asleepDecades gliding by like indiansTime is cheapWhen they wake up they will findAll their personal belongingsHave intertwinedOh rene and georgette magritteWith their dog after the warWere dining with the power eliteAnd they looked in their bedroom drawerAnd what do you thinkThey have hidden awayIn the cabinet cold of their hearts?The penguins, the moonglowsThe orioles, and the five satinsFor now and ever afterAs it was beforeRene and georgette magritteWith their dog after the war
