It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes inside
Is only half of what comes out
Isn't that what it's about?
To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big, black hole
Comfortable
Digging the grave, I got it made
Let something in, or throw something out?
You left the door open wide
I know you have a reason why
That knot is better left untied
I just went and undid mine
It takes some time
And the shadows so big
It takes the sun out of the day
And the feeling goes away
If you close the door <

(Streets are burnt-out shells and insurance jobs)
(Temporary spell and hell in a drop)
(Drops of hell like some divine comedy)
(It won't sell and that's the tragedy)
(I know my way home, I can get there alone)
(The day I need you they can feed me to the lions)
(You can stop trying to get it started)
(Its heart is gone, it's shot for the last time)
(It's past time, it's meantime)
(It's all over in between time)
(It's like Halloween time)
They don't owe me anything
Now I'm on the line, now I've lost my touch
They don't touch anything
Every pa

Si le rideau tremble et se soulève
Encore quelque fois
C'est un air de toi qu'ont les passants
Quand vient le printemps
Ce doit être mal de vivre comme ça
Quand on est une vieille fille
Avec un amant mort mais si jeune
Personne n'y croit
Passent les jours et les nuits
Passe le te temps, j'en vieillis
Passent les jours et les nuits
Passent les hirondelles
Si c'est bien comme ça
Si c'est fini, c'est bien de toi
Ecoute, moi je m'en bats
Je passe mes nuits
Avec des passants de vingt ans
Passent les jours et les nuits

We only knew each other by letter
I went to meet her off the train
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there and speaking my name
I guarantee she looked like an angel
I couldn't think of what I should say
But when Adam saw Eve in the garden
I believe he felt the selfsame way
I handed her up on the wagon
And I loaded up her trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
And I tried to get hold of my mind
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Do you think we got a chance of a life
Do you thin
