Sobbing Entertainers

lyrics

Time ! I need time, I’ve got an iron will
To rehab when I feel down
Oh my love, I’m so sober when you smile
Try to believe I’m not finished and pale
A loser in the fairground
Oh my love, I’m so lonely in the crowd

Tight, there is something upset in my head
Life is a daily pain in this cage
I get up with a splitting headache

You’re my Sunset

OH MY HEART, STAY HERE BY MY SIDE
THERE’S NO PLACE FOR ME, FOR SOBBING ENTERTAINERS, OH WHY ?
OH MY HEART, TAKE MY SOUL AS GOLD
DESTINY IS FAKED IN THE HANDS OF FORTUNE-TELLERS

I’m not a dork, neither mad nor insane
a dealer in the playground
But I’m lost with the violence of this time
Try to release me, my slammer ‘s called « brain »
I’m living like a sinner
Oh my heart is dry like a desert now

Tight, there is something upset in my head
Life is a daily pain in this cage
I get up with a splitting headache

You’re my sunset

OH MY HEART, STAY HERE BY MY SIDE
THERE’S NO PLACE FOR ME, FOR SOBBING ENTERTAINERS, OH WHY ?
OH MY HEART, TAKE MY SOUL AS GOLD
DESTINY IS FAKED IN THE HANDS OF FORTUNE-TELLERS

You can put me down. I’m a selfish jerk
I don’t know how to bleed.
Time join the broken souls
I don’t know who is free.

Fame is my tomb, I carry my load and I get bored
I could have broken the fall, but I’m off the wall, and I love gold
I could have done more and more, get back to the shore, but I’m off-board,
I ‘ve got to be natural, but it will take time

My heart is dry like a desert, my heart is dry like a desert.
