Lyrics
Open my legs, lie down with death
– Aperi crura mea, dormi cum morte
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
– Osculamur, gemimus, sudamus
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
– Etiam os eius maculat camisiam meam
I pull him close
– Ego prope eum trahere
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
– Circumda crura mea et gustat sicut vita
I twist, I bite
– Ego quidem, si moriar
The foxes chatter in the night
– Vulpes noctu garriunt
Show me the way
– Ostende mihi viam
This feeling leads
– Hic sensus ducit
The ache, the kick, the need
– L ‘ amicizia, un bene prezioso
Show me the way
– Ostende mihi viam
This feeling leads
– Hic sensus ducit
The ache, the kick, the need
– L ‘ amicizia, un bene prezioso
A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes
– Un pittore sulla soglia della luce, mi hai insegnato ad aprire gli occhi
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?
– Possumne hanc omnem pulchritudinem intus in aeternum servare?
I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
– Nudus currere camisiam meam lacrimam per oppidum
Run through rain, run through fog
– Per pluviam currite, per nebulam currite
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
– Consolatio in felibus et canibus et rebus quae loqui non possunt
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane
– Cucurrit ad planum paternum, sed omnes ebrii et insaniunt
When I asked what I could offer them
– Et interrogavit eos quid inter vos conquiritis
They said, “Gin and tonic or lithium”
– Dixerunt: “Pedica et tonicum vel lithium”
I asked, “Which way should I go?”
– Et dixit: si in Aliquo dubitaveritis,”
Through cigarette smoke, they said
– Sigarella convolverunt, dicerent
“Child, how would we know?”
– “Puella, cur scis?”
Show me the way
– Ostende mihi viam
This feeling leads
– Hic sensus ducit
The ache, the kick, the need
– L ‘ amicizia, un bene prezioso
Show me the way
– Ostende mihi viam
This feeling leads
– Hic sensus ducit
The ache, the kick, the need
– L ‘ amicizia, un bene prezioso
Desire beyond reason
– Desiderium ultra rationem
Ruinous thing
– Res perniciosa
A stranger came to my door
– Advena ad ianuam meam venit
And I welcomed him in
– Bun venit
My feet are bleeding
– O guttam sanguinis non habeo
But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles
– Sed non possum prohibere, habeo multa milia passuum
Yet to cross
– E a una croce
I came to a clearing
– Ego veni ad defensionem
Full of wailing and keening
– Et a praesidente et a potente de mendacio
A well of tears that never runs dry
– Puteus lacrimarum quae numquam sicca currit
Women said, “We’ve been waiting
– Mulieres dixit: “weve’ iam exspectat
Waiting to meet you, it’s only a matter of time”
– Exspecto obviam tibi, suus ‘ tantum a res temporis”
Thrust my fists in the ground
– Et pones scripturam meam in terra
And the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh
– Terrena testudo cum origanum comederit, viperam contemnit.
I could feel something shudder
– Sentire potui aliquid horrendum
Deeper, deeper down
– Altius, altius descendit
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
– Et occurrit omne monstrum a Vecte ad Broadway
And all their violent offers, I just turn them away
– Ogni violazione sarà perseguita ai sensi di
And your threats and your promises, they don’t scare me
– Et minis tuis et promissionibus tuis, me non terrent
After all, there’s nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)
– Non est alia femina pulchrior quam me (Vel me)
Than me (Woo)
– Quam ego (Woo)
