Lying with You - Charlotte Gainsbourg

J’ai touché un visage de cire

Qui certainement t’a fait fuir

Tu jambe nue sortait du drap

Sans pudeur et le sang froid

Au coin de la bouche, une trainée

Tu n’aurais pas aimé

J'étais allongée contre toi

J’ai pris ce droit, sans foi

My feet are hovering above ground

Ready to follow

My mouth is whispering in raptures

Celebrating you

Laisse-moi donc imaginer

Que j'étais seule à t’aimer

D’un amour pur de fille chérie

Pauvre pantin transie

Où est parti mon baiser

Quand le coffre s’est fermé

J’entends toujours battre les clous

Toi perdu, moi éperdue

My feet are hovering above ground

Ready to follow

My mouth is whispering in raptures

Celebrating you

Shall we dream happy ever after?

Pretend we do

Playing a game of never after

Lying with you

I touched a wax face

Who certainly scared you away

Your bare leg was sticking out of the sheet

Shameless and cold-blooded

At the corner of the mouth, a trail

You wouldn't have liked

I was lying against you

I took that right, without faith

My feet are hovering above ground

Ready to follow

My mouth is whispering in raptures

celebrating you

So let me imagine

That I was alone to love you

With pure darling girl love

Poor chilled puppet

where did my kiss go

When the trunk closed

I still hear the nails beating

You lost, me lost

My feet are hovering above ground

Ready to follow

My mouth is whispering in raptures

celebrating you

Shall we dream happy ever after?

Pretend we do

Playing a game of never after

Lying with you
