[Intro: Charlotte Gainsbourg]
Can you really tell?
It should be easy, passing
And yet, it's like walking through mud

[Verse 1]
A wedding day for the scissor and the socket
If you find my eyes, can you put them in your pocket?
I hope there’s space in your room to put my head
I cannot see, I think that they both fell out the socket
A wrinkled smile fading because it's forgotten
A tear sheds for the goodbye of what's within

[Pre-Chorus]
"Did you see her face last night?" "Yeah, she looked like a disaster"
"Can we get a different meal? ’Cause this pudding tastes like plaster"
I want to know what went on, somebody go and ask her
What's the denomination? Free of charge, we bring a pastor

[Chorus]
Will they be dancing where we are going?
I see several deer, can you slow down the rowing?
Will the foxes be prancing all over the place
Or stalk in the bushes with ephemeral grace?
Oak or doug, over there, we have chestnut
Worms and mums, haven't shown to have a preference
The Persian rug, the audience roars
The pattern juxtaposed against the body on the floor
[Verse 2]
I think I'm misremembering, I thought you had green eyes
Take your shoes off at the door if you wouldn't mind
But what if I leaped and suddenly flied?
If you listen closely, you can hear the circus
But as the sound draws nearer, you start feeling nervous
Can you see how the clowns feel from their eyes?

[Pre-Chorus]
Incandescent lights, shows the crowd the rotting suture
The meat hook hangs the arms, a vibrant bis applauds the butcher
The man with the boat looks not-trusting through the fog
At least my sides and quarters might nourish some friendly dogs

[Chorus]
Will they be dancing where we are going?
I see several deer, can you slow down the rowing?
Will the foxes be prancing all over the place
Or stalk in the bushes with ephemeral grace?
Oak or doug, over there, we have chestnut
Worms and mums, haven't shown to have a preference
The Persian rug, the audience roars
The pattern juxtaposed against the body on the floor
