Noel_s Lament(MP3_320K)

[00:00.67] But, in my dreams, I played a different role

[00:14.15] I was Monique Gibeau in post-war France

[00:20.42] A hooker with a heart of black charcoal

[00:32.41] I write poems to burn by firelight

[00:37.92] Drink champagne and guzzle gin

[00:43.15] Good girls call me "the town bicycle"

[00:47.42] Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin

[00:51.92] Oh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me

[00:57.17] Last prick did that faded quick to black

[01:01.92] I have no idea where to find him, officers

[01:06.42] But if you do, please mention that I'd like to have returned

[01:10.16] The pretty knife

[01:11.42] That I stuck ten times in his back

[01:19.65] For I sing songs until the break of dawn

[01:25.15] I embrace a new man every night

[01:28.42] My life's one never-ending carnival

[01:32.42] A world of boozy-floozy flashing light

[01:34.90] I want to be that fucked-up girl

[01:43.40] He said, "I think I am in love with you"

[02:06.16] I've heard that lie a million times before

[02:10.91] Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy

[02:14.90] Take love when you can, when you're a whore

[02:19.65] For I sing songs until the break of dawn

[02:25.16] I embrace a new man every night

[02:28.41] My life's one never-ending carnival

[02:32.91] A world of boozy-floozy flashing light

[02:35.41] I want to be that fucked-up girl

[02:50.92] So now I sell my love for opium

[02:57.42] In some rat-infested Chinese dive

[03:03.39] At night I burn myself with cigarettes

[03:08.65] Just to somehow prove I'm still alive

[03:21.66] Eight months later, I catch typhoid flu

[03:26.66] Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day

[03:33.16] Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me

[03:46.89] "My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?"

[03:50.66] "Oui. Tell him that, like him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away"

[04:00.91] For I sing songs until the break of dawn

[04:08.40] I embrace a new man every night

[04:11.90] My life's one never-ending carnival

[04:17.91] A world of boozy-floozy flashing light

[04:19.67] For I sing songs until the break of dawn

[04:23.39] I embrace a new man every night

[04:25.39] My life's one never ending carnival

[04:28.90] A world of boozy-floozy flashing light

[04:30.90] I want to be that fucked-up girl

[04:33.40] I wanna be that fucked-up (girl)

[04:46.16] Broken heart, a flask of gin

[04:46.41] Tattooed with a safety pin

[04:46.41] Teeth all stained with nicotine

[04:46.68] Running nylons, shattered dreams

[04:46.90] Super crusty, holy terror

[04:46.90] Wild eyes and black mascara

[04:47.14] Broken heart, a flask of gin

[04:47.40] Tattooed with a safety pin

[04:47.40] Teeth all stained with nicotine

[04:47.64] Running nylons, shattered dreams

[04:47.64] Super crusty, holy terror

[04:47.93] Wild eyes and black mascara

[04:48.15] If I could have just one dream (ahh)

[04:48.15] (If he could have just one dream)

[04:48.42] I'd be that fucked-up girl!

[04:48.65] Hey!
