Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

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

I can wear a sexy dress
And high-heeled shoes
And I like the high class
Of an english suit
I love sex and tenderness
I've a lovely ass
And my breasts are unisex
Switch me on and test

I wanna be your mannequin
I can help you unwind
And if you're not satisfied
Just leave me behind
I love cars and elevators
Bathrooms and planes
I love speed and slow-motion
I wanna dislocate your brain

Take me once, take me twice
I'll be your man
And I'll be your woman
Take me once, take me twice
I'll be your man
And I'll be your woman

I can wear a sexy dress
And high-heeled shoes
And I like the high class
Of an english suit
I love sex and tenderness
I've a lovely ass
And my breasts are unisex
Switch me on and test

I'm sweet, violent, vicious and hot
And whatever you want
I'm a sucker, a perfect lover
I'm a fucking bitch

Take me once, take me twice
I'll be your man
And I'll be your woman
Take me once, take me twice
I'll be your man
And I'll be your woman

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 (x 4)

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 (x 4)

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 (x 2)

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 (x 2)

What you own, what you own

I am the ocean
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

Lisa lost her head
She wanna fade away
In her little clumsy hands
She grips a green grenade

She hides it in her pocket
Each time she goes out
Lisa little racket
Just waiting for it blows

Lisa lost her way
She doesn't know, she forgets
She never goes, she never stays
She comes from devil's bed

Lisa lost her way
She doesn't know, she forgets
She never goes, she never stays
She comes from devil's bed

I wanna burn up my life, he said
To be hurt is a need
I wanna drink that wine, she said
I'm gonna make you bleed
I wanna burn up my life, he said
Consider I'm trying
I wanna taste your blood, she said
I'm gonna drink it dry

I wanna burn up my life, he said
I wanna burn it down
Dissidence is a mood, she said
And love can make you high
I wanna kill that need, he said
Murder is not a crime
I wanna hear that beat, she said
Until the end of the night

The sun is going down and I'm still alive
The sun is going down but I don't, I don't wanna die
If we belong to somewhere, tell me where
If we belong to somewhere, somewhere

I wanna burn up my life, he said
To be hurt is a need
I wanna drink that wine, she said
I'm gonna make you bleed
I wanna burn up my life, he said
Consider I'm trying
I wanna taste your blood, she said
I'm gonna drink it dry

The sun is going down and I'm still alive
The sun is going down but I don't, I don't wanna die
If we belong to somewhere, tell me where
If we belong to somewhere, somewhere

Don't say, don't say, don't say you need love (x 4)

I know you do (x 4)

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 (x 3)

Try to run as far as you can, girl
Take care, try not to fall
Dive as deep as you can, girl
To bring him your love

Don't give up (x 2)
Don't give up now

Don't give up (x 2)
Bring him your love

Try to run as far as you can, girl
Take care, try not to fall
Dive as deep as you can, girl
To bring him your love

Don't give up (x 2)
Don't give up now

Don't give up (x 2)
Bring him your love
