So softly speaking
Your words' a constant babbling stream
Come from nowhere, where, where /x2
You eyelids paint in chalk
Shimmering haze just as you talk
Are you sinking, king, king /x2
I see that your left arm is ink stained
And since you're sleeveless
Your winged lion gives a sly wink
Does he know my loneliness?
And then I steal a glimpse of your face
As you turn the other way
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace
Whenever I'm led astray
Here's my station /x2
But if you say just one word I'll stay with you
[x2]
Such an attitude
Impatient, gloriously rude
Are you for real, real, real
You're not for real, real, real
Every breath you take
Is a violent strain that breaks
Through their cursing, sing, sing /x2
Before you, I had nothing
But a handful of sad scents
And this town is dead my darling
You're the one that reinvents
With my lips sealed I say a prayer
"Long live the fool, kill the king"
I am offered newborn anger
And the storm will hear us sing
Here's my station /x2
But if you say just one word I'll stay with you
[x2]
Pour que l'orage s'annonce...
