There's a pack of rabid dogs
Pawing at my front door
There's a pack of rabid dogs
Pawing at my front door
There's a swarm of yellowjackets
Pounding against my window pane
There's a swarm of yellowjackets
Pounding against my window pane
Well, how's it gonna be
How's it gonna be yeah
How's it gonna be
How's it gonna be yeah
All the pictures on the wall
Have fallen to the ground
The trees bowing to the grass
In a silent hurricane
When the landlord calls
Mother Nature's come to arms
She's in a fighting mood
Greta's got a gun
This ain't no flowerchild
How's it gonna be
How's it gonna be yeah
How's it gonna be
How's it gonna be yeah
All the pictures on the wall
Have fallen to the ground
The trees bowing to the grass
In a silent hurricane
When the landlord calls
Mother Nature's come to arms
She's in a fighting mood
Greta's got a gun
This ain't no flowerchild
How's it gonna be
How's it gonna be yeah

There's a pack of rabid dogs
Pawing at my front door
There's a pack of rabid dogs
Pawing at my front door
There's a swarm of yellowjackets
Pounding against my window pane
There's a big ol' brama bull
Busting up my shotgun shack
Rhinestone collections all the time
I wonder what Gretta would say
Another lady, another time
Another heartbroken state of mind
Alone in her chambers she dreams of her home
Outside she's got a movie star view
Outcries well, where will the kings go
Where will the kings go now
She's got her eyes wide open
And she's ready to stare you down
She says, in words unspoken
She's from out of town
Well, some cry well, I really don't dance down
Stormy weather it cuts like a knife
She's got her bags packed and she's off to the valley
Where the sun meets the sea, you understand that
She wants to live by the ocean and no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day, the next day she leaves the station
Do you really want to change her
Or is it your right
Ooh alone in her chambers she dreams of her home
In a very real way she's the purist art form
I bet she said, just how many art lovers
Can one get to know, she doesn't have an hour
She doesn't have five minutes, she's got to go
She's got her bags packed and she's off to the valley
Where the sun meets the sea, you understand that
She wants to live by the ocean and no one is pleased
She gets a house in the mountains
The next day, the next day she leaves the station
I wonder what Gretta would say
Well, I wonder what Greta would say
I wonder what Gretta would say
Ooh, she's got a movie star view
Oh well, where will the kings go
Where will the kings go now
divine
exquise et chagrine
de la vie, est orpheline
enfantine
reine et ruine
maudit soient ceux qui t´ont prise
greta rit, et moi je rougis
greta tremble, la mort lui resemble
greta meurt, j´entends dieu qui pleure
greta aime, divine infidele
baisers froids comme elle
je l´aime
divine
fuir n´est pas facile
quand la nuit vous a conquise
tout est vide
tu n´est plus
c´est ma vie, tu l´as perdue
greta rit, et moi je rougis
greta tremble, la mort lui resemble
greta meurt, j´entends dieu qui pleure
greta aime, divine infidele
baisers froids comme elle
(Steve Summers)
well bless my soul she's right on time
dressed to kill she looks so fine
like greta garbo in gaberdine
her image on the silverscreen
well it's elementary like two plus two
but it's animal just what i feel for you
do you ever want to know me
do you ever want to step in my dreams
cause i'm tired of looking at pictures
flipping through the magazines
do you ever want to know me
do you ever want to step in my dreams
cause i'm tired of looking at pictures
making love to what i see
the rain is pouring down outside
but i am safe i'm warm and dry
well tell me now what's a boy to do
falling for a girl like you
well it's elementary like two plus two
but it's animal just what i feel for you
do you ever want to know me
do you ever want to step in my dreams
cause i'm tired of looking at pictures
flipping through the magazines
do you ever want to know me
do you ever want to know to step in my dreams
cause i'm tired of looking at pictures
making love to what i see
always alluding to your offers of the big-time
i had trouble understanding what was really mine
was it here today maybe gone tomorrow
was it a love that i have
or is it a love that i borrow
because you can see that life is just a question
although largely based on our decisions
should i do this should i do that
could i make this could i be that
well it's elementary like two plus two
but it's animal just what i feel for you
do you ever want to know me
do you ever want to step in my dreams
cause i'm tired of looking at pictures
flipping through the magazines
do you ever want to know me
do you ever want to know to step in my dreams
cause i'm tired of looking at pictures
Great sur ta Gretsch patin?e, je t'imagine rosir ? mes propos, ?claircir tes m?ches et p?lir tes bras.
Sur cette peau parfois bleue, je me vois veinard de l'instant, te gu?rir de tes plaies.
Je me vois sortir, d?cal? ? ton bras, de ton h?tel, palace blanc et mit?, imitant toutes ces passes de tor?adors hollywoodiens d?j? morts.
Je les imagine ? tes pieds, leurs liasses calqu?es sur leurs langues mauves.
Great toi, sur ta Gretsch patin?e, sur ton vieux club tu joue encore en d?saccord.
Tu as envie d'y retourner et je finirai peut-?tre par fuir moi ce bruit blanc, mais je note ton accord, et je ne bouge, ne fr?mis, aucune ?mulsion ne doit passer.
Tu ne bouges toujours pas, cette odeur de talc, t'alcaline les v?tements et les art?res, ces art?res alt?r?es de toute part par ces mol?cules, ces particules am?ricaines, ce smol?cules qui te font et t'ont fait perdre la t?te mais pas la m?lodie Gretschienne.
Greta sur ta Gretsch patin?e, toutes ces mol?cules am?ricaines t'ont fait perdre la t?te. J'?claircis tes m?ches, je touche ? tes cheveux, je vois tes gestes, tes v?tements, ces mol?cules amricaines qui t'ont fais perdre la t?te.
Greta sur ta Gretsch patin?e, sur ton fauteuil, tu joues encore, tu joues encore en d?saccord, je vois bien distinctement, les mol?cules, ces mol?cules am?ricaines.
A play ground, a courtyard
Surrounded this world
You can realign light
But you can’t take the girl
And her eyes are size of lagoons
All dreaming wild
In the morning
The universe shines
From under her skin
The … girl departed
The places she’s been
A baby day’s
Coiled up inside her
Like ribbons are tied
Got to be good to yourself
For goodness sake
You existed in one night
Before you were born
On the turn of each calendar
Inside and outside
Observatories clocked you in stars
They will …
Got to be good to yourself
