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