Oh, these desert stars at night,
Lost in a cloud of flashing light,
Oh, this terror in my bones,
A heavy chest and thoughts of home.
The First Twins
And clubs and movie stars,
One Twin on her knees
And she’s going far.
I’m feeling a little stressed, dad
These blisters on my hands, dad,
All the faces that I love,
Outta sight, growing old.
The First Twins
And clubs and movie stars,
One Twin on her knees
And she’s going far.
La première fois que j't'ai vu
Plus triste que fier
C'est pas à cause de moi
C'est à cause de celui qui mène
Why not go when there’s nothing to lose?
Send the girls out,
It’s their right to choose,
Nobody sees what nobody knows,
Your baby’s dying while his darling blows.
There’s a gun in her hand,
There’s a gun in her hand,
There’s a gun in her mouth,
There’s a gun in her hand.
