The girl with red eyes
In her orange dress Arms crosswise Dances like a dervish Her skirt's going up and down Rabbits are jumping from her dress Leaping about on the floor Like from a wizard's hat Welcome to the modern dance hall The Orchestra man Counts elephants and frogs Marching from her skirt He's banging the bell Butterflies take off Invading all the ball room The girl with red eyes In her orange dress Arms crosswise Dances like a dervish Tables and chairs Keep spinning around her Whales, deers and crocodiles Inundate the place The animal crowd crawls Clinging to the fairy lights Nibbling and eating the walls Tearing at the night Tables and chairs Keep spinning around her Whales, deers and crocodiles Inundate the place The animal crowd crawls Clinging to the fairy lights Nibbling and eating the walls Tearing at the night |

While the dawn
Slowly appears You fall asleep All you own Is time that's gone Burying your fears While the night Sadly escapes You sweetly heal A cloud of hope Floats like a dream You finally breath The haze has blown The night has gone Horses run Through the fields See the sun It has appeared And now it burns And I feel free The haze has blown The night has gone Horses run Through the fields See the sun It has appeared And now it burns And I feel free While the dawn Slowly appears You fall asleep |

On the sun-deck, a lord looks at the foam
Drinks champagne, eats Belouga, the night's long It's quiet, icebergs pass along There's no wind, says a lady, but it's cold On the below-deck, the people dream of something From tables lit by white candles What are you doing here? I am lost, says a boy I can't sleep, says the other, it's so warm Slowly, with a sigh, the fickelness of fate Ripped open the hull, tearing it patiently Ice blade cleaves the iron, it's time to drown our sins In a delicate screeching, iron tears The sun-deck shivers, the below-deck screams Water is gushing up without invitation Swallowing up mouths, swallowing up noses And the dreams and the candles, we should have eaten when it was warm Tonight there's no wind, the ocean is calm and quiet It's waiting, waiting, catching its breath It's true it could rain But quietly the sea is waiting for its children The howling sea Do you hear? I hear nothing Save our souls, save our souls, help us Marconi, help us I'm gonna swim straight ahead Row, Mc Cawley, row Mayday, mayday, mayday The below-deck is floaded, the machine have stopped And the lord, slightly troubled, slowly swallows the finest Calvados Save our souls Pray for my bones |

A man with a tattoo
Made me a rendez-vous He met Lolita in a bar in Soho The glitter on her lips The way she moved her hips Dancing to the beat of the stereo She's so disco He said : "You're gonna be my queen Come on, shake my tambourine You'll be the superstar of my floor show" They drank a lot and jived Ran away from the lights Rushing at the doors of the Glass Bowl She's so disco She's so disco She's so disco She's soooooo disco He took her for a ride Kiss me, hold me tight Don't resist, pump up the volume of the radio It was the dead of night Not a single soul in sight Lolita yields to the killer gigolo She's so disco A man with a tattoo Made me a rendez-vous He met Madonna in a bar in Soho The glitter on her lips The way she moved her hips Dancing to the beat of the stereo She's so disco She's so disco She's so disco She's soooooo disco |

You don't tell me, you don't dare
Saying you lost time You won't tell me, I know it's hard To keep your dream alive Keep on talking about precious stones About your navel in gold Keep on fucking in beds of diamonds Drinking 12 year's old Keep on swallowing silver tongues For your royal breakdowns Keep on buying some brand new friends Some like beautiful snow No you ain't, no you ain't, no you ain't what you own No you ain't, no you ain't, no you ain't what you own Keep on killing your sweet innocence Keep on sinking your hopes Keep on turning blood into wine Keep on keeping your smile Keep on talking about precious stones About your navel in gold Keep on fucking in beds of diamonds Drinking 12 year's old No you ain't, no you ain't, no you ain't what you own No you ain't, no you ain't, no you ain't what you own What you own, what you own |

The sky is my shelter I am the ocean The wind is my mother I am the water And I am the foam Coming and leaving Caressing your bones Caressing your bones I will make you breath You will make me howl I will kiss your knees You will bring me hope I will make you breath You will make me howl I will kiss your knees You will bring me love The storm makes me call out Thousands of cries The sun makes me roll back And you watch the sky And you watch the sky I will make you breath You will make me howl I will kiss your knees You will bring me hope I will make you breath You will make me howl I will kiss your knees You will bring me love |

Well let me tell how it came
You won't believe it I was alone, I recall It was such a bad day I was so down that I prayed To some god to help me To find again my way What wouldn't be easy I was afraid not to keep Just a little hope in me I couldn't stand what I'd lived However I had All my love to give, all my life to live All my love to give, that's what I needed All my life to live I wanna be in overdrive Well she appared in the sky Just like an angel Who's coming down from the stars It's unbelievable I cannot say how I feel Now that I met her My pain is healed, she can see All I have is All my love to give, all my life to live All my love to give, that's what I needed All my life to live I wanna be in overdrive Now I can feel so high, I can' t believe it Since you stole my heart, I can't believe it Now I can feel so high, I can't believe it Since you stole my heart Think I'm in overdrive |

Spiders are jumping into the light
Spiders on my skin, white night Some ice-cold whisky flows in my brain Deeper and deeper, cold are in my veins This is my cell where I used to walk This is my hell, well it's full of smoke I saw the devil, I met a friend I felt evil breathing at the end I am a monster, I am a freak, I am Jesus, I am a creep I am the father, I am the sun, I am the healer, I am the gun There goes a night train Right to nowhere Tied to my ankles Black ruby chains Falling from the ceiling Running on the floor Steeling my anguish Breaking my door Am I a loner, am I so cold I need a lover, let's go home Some ice-cold whisky flows in my brain Deeper and deeper, cold are in my veins I am a monster, I am a freak, I am Jesus, I am a creep I am the father, I am the sun, I am the healer, I am the gun (Only on the demo : Can't you see the monster that (grows up inside ?) Can't you see the monster that ...) I am the gun I am the gun I am the gun |

Nothing is all
I get after all Something as quiet As a man when he dies Nothing is all And I feel so small Emptiness comes After we cry After the storm Like we were born again After the storm Like we were born again Nothing is all I get after all But nothing can last Your secret is mine Nothing's as real As a heart when it bleeds Would I feel free If it stopped to beat After the storm Like we were born again After the storm Like we were born again |

I want you to know
I won't come back Oceans and roads took me Miles away from home A million miles away from home So far away from home So far away from home So far away from home I want you yo know What it's like To lie on your own On velvet clouds Awake every day A million miles away from home So far away from home So far away from home So far away from home I want you to know I won't come back No matter where I'll go I'll hear you sigh |

Blood and roses on my road
Don't know where I belong One sand dollar in my hand Don't need to understand A dog lying on the dirt Waiting for the birds Lost loves can't be found again I keep my southern dream Too much understanding kills me What am I to be A dog lying on the dirt Waiting for the birds And the winds are blowing high Silver ashes flying around And the winds are blowing high Silver ashes flying around Running on the roofs of L.A. I'm breathing in the clouds Traces lead me to the desert I'll stay in the sun Blood and roses on my road Don't know where I belong Blood and roses on my road Don't know where I belong |

I'll change my name, my language and my brain
I'll change my face, my body and my race I'll crawl at your feet and turn into a freak I'll lick your legs, crawl back up to your sex But don't throw me away But don't throw me away I'll give you my soul and million other gifts I'll cling but I'll fall, I know you'll make me sick I'll be your dog when you walk, I'll shut up when you talk And I'll be your slave if you want me to stay The shadow of your grave, even silence in a cave But don't throw me away But don't throw me away You'll think of me, feel as guilty as I've been I'll haut your nights and finally you'll cry You'll call my name, and I'll be gone away You'll call my name, and I'll be gone away |

And your body likes mine
And we stand In this burning desert On the edge On the edge In the night I know You'll find the end The end What a nightmare You were sinking in Watch those children Swimming in the sand And your story meets mine And we have Thoughts with no words Of love And we share And we share Loneliness when we fail When we're scared When we're scared Emptiness will take us On its way And our breath will take us To the day Emptiness will take us On its way And our breath will take us To the day |

The demons try to catch me
They're coming so close to me All those eyes that are holding me back I can't talk, I can't shout All those hands holding me I'm so cold and you're not here I go down to the bottom of the abyss I'm sinking into the darkness Running at full speed when I fall (4x) O my god I feel alone Above my head, a scarlet veil Turns around my head and rips my veins Tepid blood flowing on my hands I slowly strangle her, and see A red river leaving its stream Drowning plains and flowing into the sea I feel like I'm falling free Running at full speed when I fall... |
