Baby I'm tired, I'm tired of you
You never go where I want you to
Just like smoke just like wind
You escape to the big machine
I don't like what I see
Why don't you want to dance with me
At the end of the day
I will catch you anyway
In this world nothing's real
All you see just happens in your head
Just like a dream
A very long night
Don't get me wrong
This time I'm here for you
For you
Baby please let me in
I can swear my hands are clean
You can fight but you can't win
Cause you belong to the big machine
In this world nothing's real
All you see just happens in your head
Just like a dream
A very long night
Don't get me wrong
This time I'm here for you
For you
Oh je sens toute ta peine
Tu n'en vois pas le bout
Laisse-moi prendre ta place
Ou j'en deviendrai fou
Baby please let me in
I can swear my hands are clean
