Pretty
Pretty
Let's cease this long-time mockery
Let's end this long-standing farce
Without distraught there's no beauty
Without distress, there's no beauty
You're both resplendent and rusty
You're both radiant and worn
Rusty
Worn
Pretty
Pretty
Was your red mouth overflowing
Was your red mouth overflowing
The lightning's path under your skin
The lightning's path beneath your skin
The veins that flowed over your chin
The veins that flowed over your chin
Your chin
Your chin
Now these flowers are sold
Now these flowers are sold
This lover is cold
This lover is cold
The hour is gone
The hour is gone
The colour is wrong
The colour is wrong
And I want more
And I want more
Than just a sip of it all (of it all)
Than just a sip of it all (of it all)
Ugly
Ugly
Is the black flag you wave at me
Is the black flag you wave at me
Nausea to make history
Nausea to make history
You think I'm lost, you just tease me
You think I'm lost, you just tease me
Tease me
Tease me
Klaus was
Klaus was
The closest one to embody
The closest one to embody
This sharpest taste, "ugly-pretty"
This sharpest taste, 'ugly-pretty'
It was for love and love only
It was for love and love only
Only
Only
Now these flowers are sold
Now these flowers are sold
This lover is cold
This lover is cold
The hour is gone
The hour is gone
The colour is wrong
The colour is wrong
And I want more
And I want more
Than just a sip of it all
Than just a sip of it all
Ils ont insisté pour me montrer une vidéo
They insisted on showing me a video
Où les visages s'effondraient à cause de la mauvaise connexion
Where faces collapsed due to the bad connection
Où les pénétrations en gros plan, promettaient des gouffres
Where close-up penetrations promised chasms
J'ai pensé aux creux sur ta peau
I thought of the hollows on your skin
Now these flowers are sold
Now these flowers are sold
This lover is cold
This lover is cold
The hour is gone
The hour is gone
The colour is wrong
The colour is wrong
And I want more
And I want more
Than just a sip of it all
Than just a sip of it all
