Does Montreal really have a baseball team?
Does anyone believe in the Expos?
Rock Raines, on the flatbed of our dreams,
Riding on the Trans-Canada coast-to-coast.

Je ne comprends pas, rien

When we were young
We believed in the Olympic ideal.
The Quebecois and the Great Exposition.
But, now the Hawk glides tragically
Over the rooftops of Mont Royal.

Je ne comprends pas, rien

Does Astroturf speak a language that grass understands?
Does outer space have a place we can practice?

Into the cosmos
Go the Expos
Leaving the league
that owns them
far behind.
