Lyrics
There’s a heat in the pavement, my mercury’s raising
– Gen yon chalè nan twotwa a, mèki mwen an ap monte
Don’t know if it’s love or if it’s ovulation
– Mwen pa konnen si se lanmou oswa si se ovilasyon
When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
– Lè w ap kenbe yon mato, tout bagay sanble ak yon klou
The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck
– Lanmou ki soti nan sous dlo a ap bo kou m
The liquid crystal is in my grip
– Kristal likid la nan priz mwen
Anyone with a snake tongue, I show ’em the chambers of my heart
– Nenpòt moun ki gen yon lang koulèv, mwen montre yo chanm yo nan kè m’
Now I know you don’t deal much in love and affection
– Kounye a mwen konnen ou pa fè fas anpil nan renmen ak afeksyon
But I really do think there could be a connection
– Men mwen vrèman panse ke ta ka gen yon koneksyon
I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance
– Mwen boule e mwen chante e mwen planifye e mwen danse
Some days I’m a woman, some days I’m a man, oh
– Gen kèk jou mwen se yon fanm, kèk jou mwen se yon nonm, oh
I might have been born again
– Mwen te ka fèt ankò
I’m ready to feel like I don’t have the answers
– Mwen pare pou m santi m pa gen repons yo
There’s peace in the madness over our heads
– Gen lapè nan foli a sou tèt nou
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on
– Kite l pote m o-o-o-o-on
On
– Sou
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Today, I’ll go to Canal Street, they’re piercing my ears
– Jodi a, mwen pral Nan Canal Street, yo ap pèse zòrèy mwen
I’m making a wish when the needle goes in
– Mwen fè yon dezi lè zegwi a ale nan
Take an aura picture, read it and tell me who I am (Show me who I am)
– Pran yon foto aura, li li epi di m ki moun mwen ye (Montre m ki moun mwen ye)
Now I know you don’t deal much in love and affection
– Kounye a mwen konnen ou pa fè fas anpil nan renmen ak afeksyon
But I really do think you can make an exception
– Men mwen vrèman panse ou ka fè yon eksepsyon
It’s a beautiful life, so I play truant
– Li se yon lavi bèl, se konsa, mwen jwe absente
I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh
– Mwen jerk dlo nan je ak yo peye m ‘ fè li, oh
I might have been born again
– Mwen te ka fèt ankò
I’m ready to feel like I don’t have the answers
– Mwen pare pou m santi m pa gen repons yo
There’s peace in the madness over our heads
– Gen lapè nan foli a sou tèt nou
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on
– Kite l pote m o-o-o-o-on
On
– Sou
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah, ah, ah
– Ah, ah, ah
Ah
– Ah
Let it break me down till I’m just a wreck
– Kite l kraze m jouk mwen se jis yon aksidan
Till I’m just a voice living in your head
– Jiskaske mwen se jis yon vwa k ap viv nan tèt ou
It’s a fucked-up world, been to hell and back
– Li se yon mond ki te fonn, te nan lanfè ak tounen
But I’ve sent you a postcard from the edge
– Men mwen te voye ou yon kat postal soti nan kwen an
The edge
– Kwen an
Mm, oh
– Mm, oh
Oh
– Oh
