Noel_s Lament(M4A_128K)
[00:03.45] In my life
[00:04.52] I was Noel Gruber
[00:05.84] Who worked at Taco Bell
[00:07.44] In Uranium City, Saskatchewan
[00:08.76] But in my dreams
[00:13.29] I played a different role
[00:15.42] I was Monique Gibeau
[00:17.82] In post, war, France
[00:24.46] A hooker with a heart of black charcoal
[00:32.95] I write poems to burn by firelight
[00:38.55] Drink champagne and guzzle gin
[00:43.59] Good girls call me "The town bicycle"
[00:47.58] Don't knock it 'til you've tried my life of sin
[00:52.89] Oh Claude, my pimp knows, never mess with me
[00:57.41] The last prick did that faded quick to black
[01:01.93] I have no idea where to find him, officers
[01:06.43] But if you do
[01:07.50] Please mention that I'd like to have returned the pretty knife
[01:11.50] That I stuck ten times in his back
[01:20.00] For I sing songs until the break of dawn
[01:25.59] I embrace a new man every night
[01:28.52] My life's one never-ending carnival
[01:32.77] A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
[01:35.69] I want to be that -up girl
[02:02.29] He said "I think I am in love with you"
[02:06.28] I've heard that lie a million times before
[02:11.06] Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy
[02:15.84] Take love when you can, when you're a whore
[02:20.89] For I sing songs until the break of dawn
[02:25.93] I embrace a new man every night
[02:28.86] My life's one never-ending carnival
[02:33.13] A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
[02:36.58] I want to be that -up girl
[02:50.94] So now I sell my love for opium
[02:58.37] In some rat-infested Chinese dive
[03:03.96] At night I burn myself with cigarettes
[03:08.49] Just to somehow prove I'm still alive
[03:21.53] Eight months later, I catch typhoid flu
[03:26.59] Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day
[03:32.72] Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me
[03:46.01] My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you'd like to say?
[03:50.80] Oui, tell him that, like him, I choose to burn out, rather than fade away!
[04:01.42] For I sing songs until the break of dawn
[04:08.86] I embrace a new man every night
[04:12.31] My life's one never-ending carnival
[04:17.37] A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
[04:20.03] For I sing songs until the break of dawn
[04:23.49] I embrace a new man every night
[04:25.89] My life's one never-ending carnival
[04:28.81] A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light
[04:31.20] I wanna be that -up girl
[04:32.80] Wanna be that -up
[04:34.39] broken heart, a flask of gin
[04:35.72] Tattooed with a safety pin
[04:37.31] Teeth all stained with nicotine
[04:38.64] Running nylons, shattered dreams
[04:40.24] (Oh) super crusty, holy terror
[04:41.57] Wild eyes and black mascara
[04:42.89] broken heart, a flask of gin
[04:44.49] Tattooed with a safety pin
[04:46.08] (Oh) teeth all stained with nicotine
[04:47.13] Running nylons, shattered dreams
[04:48.73] Super crusty, holy terror
[04:50.06] Wild eyes and black mascara
[04:51.38] If I could have just one dream
[04:53.01] (If he could have just one dream)
[04:54.32] I'd be that -up girl!
[04:55.12] Hey!
