lyrics

private life

woke up this morning
with no private life

woke up this morning
with no private life

good evening Mr. Stranger, what's on your mind?
and hello Mr. Know-it-all, let's see what we can find
the night is full of lights
the street is full of legs
the ground is full of secrets where we bury all our heads

take me out
take me now

born into the light
we are built from awkward stones
you can share my empty nights
no way to be alone

woke up this morning with a bloody nose
blood on my pillow, blood on my clothes
what are we doing now my sweetness?

I see the end of the world
at the end of my nose
so I'd better swat that fly
I'd better catch his beady eye

best to be afraid of the man upstairs
‘cause somebody's watching but nobody cares

they're gonna take me out

born into the light
we are built from awkward stones
you can share my empty nights
no way to be alone

no way to be
closer to you
and who's behind you?
closer to you
and who's behind you?

vie privée

je me réveille ce matin
et je n’ai plus de vie privée

je me réveille ce matin
et je n’ai plus de vie privée

bonsoir Monsieur l’Étranger, à quoi tu penses ?
et toi Monsieur Je-Sais-Tout, on va voir ce qu’on découvre
la nuit est pleine de lumières
la rue est pleine de jambes
et la terre est pleine de secrets et on enfouit nos têtes dedans

emporte-moi
emporte-moi vite

on est nés dans la lumière
mais on est faits de pierre fragile
tu peux partager le vide de mes nuits
pas moyen d’être seul

je me réveille ce matin et j’ai le nez qui saigne
du sang sur l’oreiller, du sang sur mes fringues
qu’est-ce qu’on est en train de vivre, ma douce ?

je vois la fin du monde
posée sur le bout de mon nez
et vaut mieux que j’écrase cette mouche
que j’attrape son regard sournois

vaut mieux avoir peur du voisin du dessus
car on nous surveille mais tout le monde s’en fout

ils vont m’emporter

on est nés dans la lumière
mais on est faits de pierre fragile
tu peux partager le vide de mes nuits
pas moyen d’être seul

pas moyen d’être
proche de toi
et qui est derrière toi ?
je suis proche de toi
et qui est derrière toi ?
