’Needy’
If I ever seem needy
It’s just ‘cause I need you
And I need you to need me
The way that I need you
I fall a part in the night
In the dark, on my own
So let your skin be my light
Let me make you my home
I am like some little child
Alone and afraid
And I used to be wild
Now I just fade away
You have no reason to fear
All my knives are still dull
And all I own disappeared
Except for these walls
I’m lying bloodied in these fields
Come and carry me home
And I’ll carry you as my shield
And wear you as my clothes
I am like some little child
Alone and in pain
And I am waiting for you
To come and give me a name
You have no reason to fear
There’s nothing I wanna take
I don’t need you to love me
Just tolerate -
Me and my love
And the tears in my eyes
If you can throw me these crumbs
Then you’re the love of my life
So if I ever seem needy
It’s just ‘cause I need you
And I need you to need me
The way that I need you
If I ever seem needy
It’s just ‘cause I need you
And I need you to need me
The way that I need you

'Légion Étrangère'
Cet amour qui n'est pas un
Dérivant comme un navire
Disparaissant comme un mourant
Qui n'en finisse pas de mourir
Mon amour qui n'est pas un
Le sang versé de tu, mon frère
Le sang versé de un mourant
De un soldat de la légion étrangère
Cet amour-la
J’avais dit qu'il fallait voir
Cet amour-la
Sur la mer d’encre noire
Cet amour-la
Et ces journées sans toi
Cet amour-la
Cet- cet amour-la

'He About To Lose Me'
I'm touching hands with someone seriously beautiful
I feel it burning, and I know I'm standing far too close
I'm telling lies, and if it shows, I see that he don't care
I know he wants to take me home and get on outta here
But I got someone waiting at home
He says he in love, but lately, I just don't know
He don't see me or make me feel hot
Banging in the club with all my ladies, and he don't know that
He about to lose, 'bout to lose, 'bout to lose me
He about to lose me
He about to lose, 'bout to lose, 'bout to lose me
He about to lose me
I feel my body losing focus as he touches me
And I should go, but I can't overcome this chemistry
He pulls me close before he whispers something in my ear
He says he wants to take me home and get me outta here
I got someone waiting at home
He says he in love, but lately, I just don't know
He don't see me or make me feel hot
Banging in the club with all my ladies, and he don't know that
He about to lose, 'bout to lose, 'bout to lose me
He about to lose me
He about to lose, 'bout to lose, 'bout to lose me
He about to lose me
Someone by the bar keeps lookin' at us dancing
I see him staring at me, I see what he wants to be
Someone by the bar keeps lookin' at us dancing
I gotta, I gotta go, he don't know that
I'm touching hands with someone seriously beautiful

'L’oubli de l’air'
It’s the forgetting, the forgetting of air
He is a bridge, she is not even there
This is the void we surrender to
She was a clearing, at least she was to you
This is the grave that your life lies within
This is your language, your soul and your skin
This is her absence, it is all that is left
All you remembered was to forget
You fear the abyss so you’re closing your eyes
This is the rose, and you’re asking it “why?”
This is the air, unnamed and unthought
This is the distance between you and God
It’s the forgetting, the forgetting of air

'Amen'
My Love
If you never pray
Then you’ll never be mine
If you never talk to God
Then you’ll never talk to me
If you don’t raise your glass to Jesus
And then chase it with lime
If you never look for heaven
You’ll never find your way into my sheets
No, you’ll never find me
You’ll never find me
No, you’ll never find me
You’ll never find me
Cause I, I’ve belonged
To no one for so long
And I’ve been so lost
Just waiting to be found
My Love
If you never pray
Then you’ll never be mine
If you never talk to God
Then you’ll never talk to me
If you don’t raise your glass to Jesus
And then chase it with lime
If you never look for heaven
You’ll never find your way into my sheets
Cause I, I’ve been so wrong
For so long, so long
And I’ve been so lost
Just waiting to be found
And we, we’re so young
We’re so goddamn young
But we were so much younger then
So take me back to the beginning
To that little piece of heaven
To that place where the summer never ends
To where they’re dancing in the streets
In the white, floral heat
And your kiss tastes like wine and cinnamon
And then finally we’ll be born again
We’ll be so much younger than we’ve ever been
We’ll be young forever and the summer never ends
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
(And I said Jesus, oh Jesus
You’re always saving someone new
Won’t you give yourself to me
Just like I gave myself to you)

‘Claudine Longet’
Claudine, my love
Chlorine, Claudine
And polystyrene
Claudine, my love
My Clau-dine
Honey mouth
Your Aspen house
And your bright eyes
Snow on the ground
You’re snow blind
You and your love
In the bathroom light
In the afternoon
22 cal
Your cheeks bloom
Claudine, my love
Chlorine, Claudine
And polystyrene
Claudine, my love
My Clau-dine
A gun in your hand
You close your eyes
And you loose grip
Honey on your hands
Your hands slip
Blood on the floor
On your skin and your clothes
On your lips, in the snow
Snow in your blood
Your blood’s cold
Claudine, my love
Chlorine, Claudine
And polystyrene
Claudine, my love
My Clau-dine
You and your love
In the sun, by the pool
In the afternoon
Amber and gold
White linen, perfume
You can sing your song
You can sing for the birds
And the sun and the trees
Sing it all day long
Sing it for me, please
Claudine, my love
Chlorine, Claudine
And polystyrene
Claudine, my love
My Clau-dine
Claudine, my love
Chlorine, Claudine
And polystyrene
Claudine, my love
My Clau-dine
Claudine
Clau-dine
Do you love the snow?
Do you love it like I love you?
Do you miss it?
Spending your days by the swimming pool
Washing the stains
Of blood and honey
From your hands
I understand why you did it
I don’t blame you
I just wanna know
Do you miss Aspen?
Do you miss the snow?
The look of love
Your conscience clean
Am I ever enough?
My Clau-dine

'Resin'
and summer washed all over us
it felt feverish and wild
heat wave, scent of orange trees
and sunlight in your eyes
and summer felt like loneliness
and like resin on my skin
and like a dry and sunlit train platform
where we kiss goodbye again
and hold me in your arms, my love
till it all just disappears
i try, but darling, i don’t know
how to love you without fear
this is sweet, amorous sadness
and these are white, floral days
this is summer, youth and love
and it’s just too good to waste
and you’re silk between my fingers
and you’re the best i’ve ever known
and i think i feel you slip away
every time i am alone
so hold me in your arms, my love
till it all just disappears
i try, but darling, i don’t know
how to love you without fear
and i hate how summer kills me
every time it appears
and i try, but darling, i don’t know
how to love you without fear

Rue Saint-Denis

'Rue Saint-Denis'
The snow starts to fall
On this balcony
Over Rue Saint-Denis, Paris, France
It sways in the wind
Like the veil of some bride
Who is dancing her very first dance
And it touches my skin
And then melts away
Like mercury grasped in my hands
And then I say I might jump
And you say I’m not the type
That I’ve never been chasing those highs
But maybe I like the comedown
Maybe I’m just here for the fall
Now the snow is increasing
While down in the streets
The two wings begin to collide
And later this evening
I’ll turn on the T.V.
To see how many people have died
And I stretch out my arm
Through the cast iron frame
Into this wilderness of white
And I just might jump
Though I don’t want to die
You know I’ve never been chasing those highs
But maybe I like the comedown
Maybe I’m just here for the fall
Yes, if I should fall
Down from seventh floor
I’d lie there blood red in the white
Like a red rose grown
Amongst the lilies, alone
Like red wine on the dress of that bride
And sirens would ring
As the ambulance came
And drove me through the red traffic lights
And I say I won’t jump
Into this valley of white
No, I won’t but then maybe I might
Maybe I like the comedown
Maybe I’m just here for the fall
Maybe I’m just here for the fall
