I wake up before morning light
Put on my shoes and tiptoe until I'm outside
Silence and dark all around
I just hear my steps while starin'at the frost on the ground

A lifetime on the assembly line
Restless, restless
Wrenchin' pieces of human rights
Restless, restless
I wake up before morning light
Just like yesterday and tiptoe until I'm outside
Silence, dark n' frost on the ground
Am I really bend my steps towards the workin'town?

Monday : assembly line
Tuesday, it drains my strength
Wednesday, I just feel the void, go on...
Thursday : assembly line, restless
Friday, I go crazy my brain's startin' to faint away
Saturday, I lost my soul...
... Sunday at last....

The whole truth, who can tell?
I raise my hand and swear
(Stick to the facts, stick to the facts!)

I never slap her down, never shout at her
Never have a grudge, calm down, understand
Tolerant and stuff
I never beat for fun, your honour
I was such a cunt
(Stick to the facts, stick to the facts!)
This trial does not make sense
The whole thing is a farce
(Stick to the facts, stick to the facts!)

She was blind drunk, you know the kind
I had no choice but to strike, beat her to death
She can go to hell for all I care
Your honour I'm not to blame, it's only right...

I've sensed the end for several weeks
You're right : you'd better leave me now
Be sure I'll call you a bitch
As soon as you'll close the door
My lil' honey

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror tell me how
Could I get better and reach full growth
How could I get through the thorns
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Have you ever seen a pawn?
Full of regrets, pain n' groans
Keepin'all for his very own
My friends will prove me right, and yours
Will always be siding with you
Be sure you'll shake your hips with lust
When I'll be rolling about in dirt

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Did I deserve such a whore?
Would I resolve the doubt with a... BANG

Plain talking (Plain talking)
Take us so far (take us so far)
Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Like strong out old stars (like strong out old stars)
Plain talking (Plain talking)
Served us so well (served us so well)
Travelled through hell (travelled through hell)
Know how we fell (know how we fell)
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher Nowama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher Nowama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher Now
Plain talking (Plain talking)
Making us bold (making us bold)
So strong out and cold (so strong out and cold)
I'm feeling so old (feeling so old)
Plain talking (Plain talking)
Has ruined us now (has ruined us now)
You never know how (you never know how)
Sweeter then down (sweeter then down)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher Nowama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher Nowama

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

You break my balls
Seekin' the truth wantin' to know
Sit down n' don't ask me any question by now
Just let me take you to a trip inside my brain
Please fasten seatbelt you'll know
the story to the end
Twist of fate (so unfair)

Please come on in, pay no attention to the stains
Please let me show you through my brain,
It's a kind of Disneyland
Please take a look to my complete set of remains
Please watch your step, don't trip against
The creepy memories and blanks
It's funny place, do you enjoy the trip my friend?
Hang on : star attraction of the walk
Just let me take you to a trip inside my brain
Please fasten seatbelt you'll
know the story to the end
Twist of fate (so unfair)

Here we are : the far end
If you feel like it my friend, open the door
Open the door my friend
(Come on sweetie, stay on my knee
... isn't that funny? -sniggering-)
Chorus
Did you enjoy the trip my friend?
(so unfair)
You know the story to the end
(so unfair)

Look at you, crawlin'on the floor
Look at you, cryin'your eyes out
Do you still want to show off now?
Do you still want to pack your bags?
Remember the words from that guy :
"For better or for worse", then try
You got to love me until I die
You got to be always on my side

Forgive me lovin'wife
'Til the end, we're tied
I gashed you to my lasting shame
But realize you're the one to blame
Anything you say happens to make me mad
I'm not such a violent man

Please honey, don't go
Please don't leave me
Don't leave me now
Don't refuse or it'll be the last straw
I'm gonna smack you just for show
Cause I kept myself in a cage
Silently wound up n' filled with rage
I've tried to call you on the phone
Nobody back there nobody home
Do it again and I swear my dear
Dirty blood will pour from your nose
... Once again

I got the courage to fuck with hell
Goin'through the gears I rave
It's blowing hard through the windows
And through my mind
All around scenery's flashing by
Nothing left but wind in the sails
Nothing left but white rage under the veil

To crash, cleaning up from stains
To crash my way through the pain
My engine's roaring, wheel's going mad
Takin'me far away, miles away
Empty bottles clinkin'under the seats
I'm gettin'high but who even cares?
I'd rather let it beyond any control

As a crazy falcon divin'onto its prey
As an idiotic Christ, laughing while people pray
As the dashboard covered with blood
Right in front of me

A new road's open, better this way
Winds are calming down, silence at once

Please give it away, confess once for all
Good pretending but useless to lie,
Understanding as I'm burnin'inside
Please give it away, from who was thar call?
Is he well-built, brighter than I am?
Did he touch you, have you been at bed?

Please give it away, and bring me down
Bring me down it's only right
Please give it away, is he slim'n'tall?
Is he well-built, brighter than I am?
Did he touch you, have you been at bed?
If you tell me there's another guy / If you tell me that you'd like to try
If you tell me that I'm not the first : If you recognized you did me dirt
If you let me see under the couch
Hidden here, hidden there, back in the wardrobe
I see that you're scared but you're lyin'
Don't try to fuck around
I see clear and if I'm right
I'm sure I'll lose my grip
Without you, fuckin'slut, life doesn't make any sense
I'll kill myself

Look at that jerk hangin'on his phone
Look at that gay, ridiculous he's roaming around
Look at that junkie with exhausted veins
Look at the nigger, released n'free from his chains
Look at that mess, look at all these stains

Lookin'down from my window to the square
I enjoy the wally's fair
I'd like to join them but I don't even dare
Look at that bitch, showin'off her tits
I'm gonna grab her ass n'fuck until I break her hips
Look at her man, proud as a peacock, shinin'bright
Look at their outward bliss
The way they display simple smile
From here I see any kind of crap

I won't rise to fame nor catch the girls
I'm out of touch, don't play the game
I withdraw to new positions
... The foetal one in such a case

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream
