Pixies - Bel Esprit Lyrics

He did his little dance
There up in the north of Spain
Danced all the way to France
Just to try and bring her rain

[Chorus]
That’s the way of this man

He rolled away the stone
With a plastic crucifix
‘Cause he’d rather get his kicks
Than to be here all alone

[Chorus]
That’s the way of this man

[Bridge]
He’s not much of a bel esprit
She can’t seem to understand him
A bit more like a chimpanzee

She thinks he has no soul
’Cause he never learned to crawl

[Chorus]
That’s the way of this man
And that he can only sing
Of his incipient love

[Chorus]
That’s the way of this man

[Bridge]
He’s not much of a bel esprit
She can’t seem to understand him
A bit more like a chimpanzee

[Chorus]
That’s the way of this man (x4)
