St. Vincent все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

You're a supplement, you're a salve
You're a bandage, pull it off
I can quit you cut it out
You're a patient, I am love

You're a cast on (?) looking on
You're an actor out of work
You're a liar and that's the truth

I read the signs
I got all my stars aligned
My amulets, my charms
I set all my false alarms
So i'll be someone
Who won't be forgotten
I've got a question
And you've got the answer

[Intro]
What do you know?
I’m just a bad believer
What do you know?
What do you know?

[Verse 1]
From the nave and down into the altar

(Unreleased)

The night was blacker than most
And the air it hang like the ghost
of my baby
My baby had to go

My baby was sweeter than most

Oh, what an ordinary day
Take out the garbage, masturbate
I'm still holding for the laugh
The dogs will bark so let them bark
The birds will cry I'll let them cry
Here's my report from the edge

Like a birth in reverse

So I thought I'd learned my lesson
But I secretly expected
A choir at the shore
And confetti through the fall night air

I'll make a living telling people what they want to hear
It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear

I've had good times
With some bad guys
I've told whole lies
With a half smile
Held your bare bones
With my clothes on
I've thrown rocks
That hit both my arms

Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?

[Verse 1]
Forgive the kids
For they don't know how to live
Run the alleys, casually

[Chorus 1:]

Get back, to your seat
Get back, gnashing teeth
Ooh, I want all of your mind

People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah
People turn the TV on, it looks just like a window, yeah

Digital witnesses, what's the point of even sleeping?

Last nights heels
On the morning train
It's a long way back downtown

Ten missed calls
They don't know where you are
It's a long way back downtown
Hey, I was flying

I know you're probably sleeping
I got this thing I keep thinking
Yeah, I admit I been drinking
The void is back and unblinking

I cannot stop the airplane from crashing
And we circle down from the sky

Romeo, where'd you go?
It's been years and still no sign
But I'm keeping hope alive

Juliet, how you been?
You look like death like you sure could use some rest
from this place human racing and the faces of people who pound at your door

The people in the street had overtaken you
By the time you rounded Second Avenue

So I walked away
All perfumed
Felt just the same
But brand new
And anything you wrote I checked for codes and clues

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to know where you are
There's smoke in my eyes
'Cause you're burning the ground

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you are
Under cover of night

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to know where you are
There's smoke in my eyes
Cause you're burning the ground

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you are
Under cover of night I put a pearl in the ground

Just like an amnesiac
Trying to get my senses back
Oh where did they go

Laughing with a mouth of blood
From a little spill I took
What are you laughing at

Marry me, John
Marry me, John I'll be so good to you
You won't realize I'm gone

Marry me, John
Marry me, John I'll be so sweet to you
You won't realize I'm gone
You won't realize I'm gone

Be hold the way our fine feathered friend
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not my dim witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble upright, truthful, sincere
And slightly dopey gent

When the Earth split in two
I was I, you were you
I run for you, run for me too
When the wall rose and fell
And the oceans all swell
I run for you, run for me too

Come on, Sir, just give me an answer

If you say it is, then I guess it is
What you say it is, but I don't feel anything
Cause your pendulum is in swing again
Yeah, your pendulum hasn't swung back in

It's a champagne year
Through the sober months
Through my maudlin days

write to give word the war is over
Send my cinders home to mother
They gave me a medal for my valor
Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is, cause nobody is
Come sit right here and sleep while I slip poison in your ear"

Prince Johnny, you’re kind but you’re not simple
By now I think I know the difference
You wanna be a son of someone
Remember the time we went and snorted
That piece of the Berlin wall that you’d extorted
And we had such a laugh of it
Prostrate on my carpet

Morning pry the windows open
Let in what's so terrifying
Summer is as faded as a lone cicada call
Memories so bright I gotta squint just to recall
Regret the words I've bitten
More than the ones I ever said
Who's the one animal
All by yourself, all of us

The keys are in my pocket
And they rattle you awake
Seventh floor apartment
And a fiery escape

But I'm a wife in watercolors
I can wash away
What seventeen cold showers

You dress me up in a nurse's outfit
It rides and sticks to my thighs and my hips
You put me in a teacher's little denim skirt
Ruler and desk so I can make it hurt

But I keep you on your best behavior
Honey, I can't be your savior
Love you to the grave and farther

When your calling ain't calling back to you
I'll be side-stage mouthing lines for you
Humiliated by age, terrified of youth
I got hope but my hope isn't helping you

Spitting our guts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
Found my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there

Sometimes I sit in the smoking section
Hoping one rogue spark will land in my direction
And when you stomp me out, I scream and I'll shout
"Let it happen, let it happen, let it happen"

And sometimes I feel like an inland ocean
Too big to be a lake, too small to be an attraction
And when you wander in and start to flail a bit

Katie kept the list of times
Now that she had really done it, done it
So we swarmed like flies
Pretending that we weren't terrified

'Til we snuck out that night
Rolled the Chrysler down the driveway
But once we were inside

I am the antidote
I'll suck your venom out
Show me where it really hurts
I'll show you where it really hurts

Should've stopped for the wind
Should've stopped for love
Should've stopped for the wind

We're sleeping underneath the bed
To scare the monsters out
With our dear daddy's Smith and Wesson
We've gotta teach them all a lesson

Don't move
Don't scream
Or we will have to shoot

So sorry, missed the party
Hello, on the dark side of the moon
Jane lost it, crashed her corvette
Ran into the tide in Malibu
And we all heard the gun
But I was slow to run
It's just the melting of the sun
(It's just the sun)

Driver, do you mind
Turn off Patsy Cline
Walking on my own tonight
Hate being impolite
But no small talk, I'm tired
Just wake me when we arrive
Oh, pick up speed and sandwiches
A Ziploc bag, a fifth of gin

Honey, the party, you went away quickly
But oh, that's the trouble with ticking and tocking
I lick the ice cubes from your empty glass
Oh, we've stayed much too late
'til they're cleaning the ashtrays

Do you have change or a button or cash?
Oh, my pockets hang out like two surrender flags

Lover, I don’t play to win
For the thrill until I’m spent
Paint the black hole blacker (2x)
I threw flowers in your face
on my sisters wedding day
Paint the black hole blacker (2x)

You showed up with a black eye

Your lips are red
My face is red from reading your red lips
My hands are black
My hands are black inside this downtown taxi cab
This city's red
This city's red from riding us into the ground
This city's black
This city's black from all the ashes in downtown
