Les paroles de la chanson
Getting high every night
Till I couldn’t see the sunshine in the light
Start again, draw some fire
Defy the built in obsolescence of desire
When love’s the only thing it hurts to lose
In the evening of her day, Ophelia comes to court me
Not that I could stay away, her kisses seem to haunt me
It’s an accident of birth that had me born a loser
Hanging like a bird of prey, but fated not to capture
Her tender touch
Sleepless night, I walked the street
It was kind of like a movie but not as deep
What might have been and what will be
Embrace each other in conspiracy
The night drum always plays a requiem
In the evening of her day, Ophelia comes to court me
Not that I could stay away, her kisses seem to haunt me
It’s an accident of birth, that had me born a loser
Hanging like a bird of prey, but fated not to capture
Her tender touch
I fell so high from the ferries wheel
And all the fairground lights where flickering sweet delights
So tell me why is it bad I feel ?
I tripped, stumbled, slipped and fell, left drowning in the wishing well
In the evening of her day, Ophelia comes to court me
Not that I could stay away, her kisses seem to haunt me
It’s an accident of birth, that had me born a loser
Hanging like a bird of prey, but fated not to capture
Her tender touch
That I need so much
