St. Germain

When I was 5, I married you twice

Once in English, the other in subtitles

Close captioned for the hearing impaired

Childhood love.

Let me level up, I have enough experience

Enough dramatic speech and music

It's been a while, I'll visit your clearwater sea

And we'll be where it was in '90

The one-liners, the swing-sets, the tangled hair

As savvy as Fred Astaire

Backbeat the weather is on the street

I ran out of words, so I stole

That's what it comes down to, me and you.

The teetering taunts, the bicycle stunts

Always catch the boy

And when I left I brought with me the conscience of all that

You might have nice hair, well I like mine all right

I'll cue the reunion music, let the band play

I'll put it in slow motion

Then:

Don't lose track of time, this here stopwatch will help you along the way

And when I get there the crowds will whistle and shout for an execution

And cabbage will be thrown…all the way? for freedom.

And my love's dripping out

I'll see you in the audience

Your name is on every bathroom wall in French, in France.

Your name is on every bathroom wall in French, in France.

So hereafter, Natalie, c'est amour, c'est la vie.

And the way the pupils glowed along the Eiffel skyline brings me back to St. Germain.

And the way the pupils glowed along the Eiffel skyline brings me back to you.
