Paroles de Jezebel

Strontium-90

Removed from milk

As curious an entity
As bullshit writ on silk



Cancer's airborne now

Do you hear the sound?

I was hanging out the washing, man

As the rain come falling down



Now the grass lies snakes

Has crowds of iodine and fire

On Jezebel's luminescence
Bomb proof the embassy

Give infanticide a cemetary

You looked so good on the late night news

With your curtain and your deed



Yeah, I love you like a violin

I'll hunt you like an amputee

But I ain't gonna lose my skin

I would love to see you again, again



I... I would love to see you again

I... I would love to see you again



You wrote me a letter

And this is how it went:

It said, "We're backing up the supply lines

The first division's crossin' the Nile

Through the rushes and up the side

And into the machine gun fire

Tell me that this is not a dream

I've become a steel spring

Uranium tips night vision cruise missles

Gonna cut the belly out of the sky



I rode an Abrams

We stopped in Bethlehem

They made the answers here

But there weren't so many questions then

And there I shot a woman

In a headscarf with my gun

She said 'Does my bomb look big in this?

Am I the only one?'



I was in the blitz you know

My heart was young and true

I had a Caesarean, but it was not any use



Oh calamity! Oh the vanity!

You can't ride a thunderbolt

You can't claim an enemy



See, there ain't nothing here

Except a darkness

I ain't gonna fail no test

I gave my dowry to a finger on a switch

Turn me to a fine pink mist



But I ain't nothing but a stranger still

If I'm even anyone at all

But I ain't gonna lose my skin

I would love to see you again



I... I would love to see you again

I... I would love to see you again



But that ain't gonna happen now

It's no use to pretend



How many people gonna lie?

How many people gonna die?

What's best for the Western and the greed?

Kill 'em all? Let 'em breed?

Another bomb for every atom you injure

Meet the Devil with extended ring finger

Saying 'thou shalt not kill'

But I'm damned if I don't

So I'm thinking I will



Yeah, Dan Pearl

They cut your head off on TV

But I am not a camera

A man is not an effigy

But still all this horror

Has made a trench out of my soul

I'm gonna have to fall in love with a blind girl

So she will not see the shame that I know



Oh, new scar

You have raised the bar

Goliath rides an oil drum raft

Through a cyclone in my ear drums



You don't want a tyrant, we're sure

You'd prefer civil war

And I am gonna lose my skin

And I ain't gonna see you again



Again



I... I would love to see you again

I... I would love to see you again
