Lyrics
There’s a heat in the pavement, my mercury’s raising
– Illic ‘ a calor in pavimentum stratum lapide, mercurius mihi resuscitatio
Don’t know if it’s love or if it’s ovulation
– Nescio si amor est vel si suus ovulation
When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
– Cum malleum tenes, omnia clavum spectat
The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck
– Nebula a fonte osculatur collum meum
The liquid crystal is in my grip
– Liquidum crystallum in tenaci meo est
Anyone with a snake tongue, I show ’em the chambers of my heart
– Quis cum serpens lingua, ego ostendam ’em gazofilacia cordis mei
Now I know you don’t deal much in love and affection
– Nunc scio te non multum amoris et affectionis agere
But I really do think there could be a connection
– Sed vere puto nexum esse posse
I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance
– Ego habeo canem et multum pulchra est
Some days I’m a woman, some days I’m a man, oh
– Quidam dies mulier sum, quidam dies sum vir, oh
I might have been born again
– Quelle idée d ‘ être née aussi
I’m ready to feel like I don’t have the answers
– Ego paratus sum sentire sicut responsa non habent
There’s peace in the madness over our heads
– La pace nasce dall ‘ insania
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti
On
– On
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Today, I’ll go to Canal Street, they’re piercing my ears
– Hodie, ego vadam Ad Canalem platea, ipsi erant ‘ perforans aures meas
I’m making a wish when the needle goes in
– Ego autem velle facere ubi foramen acus transire vadit
Take an aura picture, read it and tell me who I am (Show me who I am)
– Accipe imaginem aurae, lege et dic mihi quis sum (Ostende mihi quis sum)
Now I know you don’t deal much in love and affection
– Nunc scio te non multum amoris et affectionis agere
But I really do think you can make an exception
– Et vero facere qui excepturi
It’s a beautiful life, so I play truant
– Suus ‘ a pulchra vita, ut ludere truan
I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh
– Et lacrimis irrumabo et redde mihi eam, o
I might have been born again
– Quelle idée d ‘ être née aussi
I’m ready to feel like I don’t have the answers
– Ego paratus sum sentire sicut responsa non habent
There’s peace in the madness over our heads
– La pace nasce dall ‘ insania
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti
On
– On
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah, ah, ah
– Ha ha ha.
Ah
– Ah
Let it break me down till I’m just a wreck
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti
Till I’m just a voice living in your head
– Donec im ‘ iustus vox in caput tuum
It’s a fucked-up world, been to hell and back
– Suus ‘ a eruditionis habes-sursum mundo, fuit ad infernum, et retro
But I’ve sent you a postcard from the edge
– Je vous repeteray, ce que de vous ay escrit de paris
The edge
– In ore gladii
Mm, oh
– Mm, o
Oh
– O
