Walking On A Winter Night 自言自语 Lyrics

Walking On A Winter Night 自言自语

我总是喜欢走在雨天里
让我想起你的甜言蜜语
夕阳照在你的脸
阳光明媚我睁不开眼

Chorus:
How am I gonna free this mind
How am I gonna walk out this time
How am I gonna know the light from the dark
When all I see is the night sky without the stars

我总是想起沙漠的夏天
狂风尘土吹痛我的脸
我恨蔚蓝色的大海
It laughs at me when I get salt in my eyes

Repeat Chorus

Darkness is just a path to walk along
Lonely is just a repeating song
I’m a singing along
I’m a Singing along

雪花纷纷扬扬落满天
一切美丑都已被掩盖
It’s easy to lose this fight
When I’m walking on a winter night

Rhythm and Blues 心灵感应 Lyrics

Rhythm and Blues 心灵感应

我弹着琴, 你唱爵士
我打着鼓, 你迈开步
你能听见心的声音?
我的心为你跳动着

我的双唇, 你的吻
我的笑容, 你的春风
你是风筝飘在天空
我跑着跳着追逐着你

Chorus:
The space between the telephone lines x 4
A little piece of mind

我是分针, 你是时针
我总围绕, 你的左右
你能跟上我的舞步
我不愿等你太久太久

我是法官, 你是罪犯
我是理性, 你是激情
你的火焰点燃我的心
我无法决断你的罪名

Repeat Chorus

你买了去上海的机票, 我能在那里见到你吗?

我弹着琴, 你唱爵士
我打着鼓, 你迈开步
你能听见心的声音?
我的心为你跳动着

你的爱情, 我的幸运
你的灵魂, 我的声音

我总在唱着你的情歌
你在远方听着我吗?

When You Sleep 当你入睡 Lyrics

When You Sleep 当你入睡

I lie awake and watch you dream
Sleepless nights the in-between
Your eyes are closed
You’re softly smiling

When you sleep you’re near but far
No I don’t know where you’ve gone
You’re floated away from me

Chorus:
当你入睡觉,梦里有我吗?
当你入睡,心在为我跳动吗?
当你入睡,还在爱着我吗?

Your smile makes me cry
Are you lying by the sea
Laughing with a girl
who looks like me

I want to fall asleep
so I can sink into your dream
Bring you back home to me

Repeat Chorus x 2

If your heart won’t beat for me
And I can’t join in your dream
I’ll suffer through this night
Eyes wide open ‘till daylight
In the flash when morning breaks
Suddenly you wake
Turn to me and say
I had a beautiful dream
I dreamt of you and me

Repeat Chorus

Just A Feeling 有一种感情 Lyrics

Just A Feeling 有一种感情

有一种感情,让心灵相应
有一种默契,在你我之间
有一种思绪,你挥之不去
有一种感受,我似曾相识

Trembling in the quiet night
Afraid of the dark but certain in the light

Chorus:
谁说我一直把你遗忘?
Oh love
谁说我从此不在信仰?
Oh love, 我们身在天堂

It’s just a feeling,让心灵相应
It’s just a thought,在你我之间
It’s just a feeling,你挥之不去
It’s just a thought,我似曾相识

Soaring in the sky so free
Falling ‘cause it could never be

Repeat Chorus

谁说我一直把你遗忘?
Oh love
谁说我从此不在信仰?
Oh love, 我们身在天堂

我在等待你的爱情 x 3

Repeat Chorus

We fall asleep only to awake x 3

Wooden Horse 旋木 Lyrics

Wooden Horse 旋木

拥有华丽的外表和绚烂的灯光
我是匹旋转木马身在这天堂
只为了满足孩子的梦想
爬到我背上就带你去翱翔

我忘了只能原地奔跑的那忧伤
我也忘了自己是永远被锁上
不管我能够陪你有多长
至少能让你幻想与我飞翔

Chorus:
奔驰的木马让你忘了伤
在这一个供应欢笑的天堂
看着他们的羡慕眼光
不需放我在心上

旋转的木马没有翅膀
但却能够带着你到处飞翔
音乐停下来你将离场
我也只能这样

我忘了只能原地奔跑的那忧伤
我也忘了自己是永远被锁上
不管我能够陪你有多长
至少能让你幻想与我飞翔

Repeat Chorus

You and I don’t need wings to fly
In the heaven of our hearts
We’ll never part
You and I don’t need wings to fly

Repeat Chorus

Heavy Things 重 Lyrics

Heavy Things 重

请帮我提着沉重的东西
赶走老鼠, 做我的厨师
拥着我安睡

You don’t have to open the door
or play the shining knight
As long as you like music
Singing songs all night

You don’t have to fix my roof
Change the spark plugs in my car
As long as you can fix a broken heart

那些重重重重的东西
They weigh on me
那些重重重重的东西
They weigh on me

You don’t have to buy me drinks
or the latest iPad
As long as you tell jokes
that make me laugh

You don’t have to fix my television
Set up my Internet
As long as you can fix a broken heart

Repeat Chorus x 2

You don’t have to be my fairytale
Show up on a white horse
As long as you can be there
to pick me up from the airport

See I need you to tell me everything’s ok
Take away grey, shine bright every day
Promise that you’ll stay

If you ever get this note, I want you to know
我不需要其他的东西
只要你的关心,疼惜和你的真心

Hey Shadow 嘿影子 Lyrics

Hey Shadow 嘿影子

嘿影子,走远点
别缠着我的每一天
就像上海阴霾的天气
Hey shadow, you’re driving me crazy

你是糟糕的摄影师
模糊了阳光的笑脸
你拍曝光不足的相片
Hey shadow, get away from me

Chorus:
别跟着我, 聪明的小丑
我想要走, 可没有出口
每一天,你在我身边
嘿影子
You’re wasting my days

当我走在路桥上
你偷偷地盯着我
谢谢你的邀请
可我不想约会
Hey shadow, you’re one step too late

Repeat Chorus

La la la la…

Repeat Chorus

东奔西走的一天,此刻的你一定很疲倦
感谢你一直的陪伴
夕阳落山,你去休息吧!

The Bicycle Song 自行车 Lyrics

The Bicycle Song 自行车

They say it’s like riding a bike
You’re a little shaky the first time around
You take a few falls
End up on the ground

They say you gotta hold on tight
Life can take you for a ride
You don’t always get where you want to
even when you try

Chorus:
我们向前走莫回头
Take it slow, slow
我们向前走莫回头
抛开来时的路
生命不会重复

You make me want to fly
Spin our wheels into the sky
There’s no need to rationalize
This is our fate, our life

Repeat Chorus

我们不需全速前进
We’ll take it slow
我们不需开足马力
按着自己的节奏
谁知道, we’ll get where we want to go

你问我去向何方?
我看着前编, 也不知答案。
No one really knows why
So don’t worry don’t worry your mind

Repeat Chorus

They say it’s like riding a bike
You’re a little shaky the first time around
But once you’re in the breeze
It’s all possibilities

Cotton Candy 棉花糖 Lyrics

Cotton Candy 棉花糖

I am pink I am blue
All the colors that look good on you
I am sweet, I am kind
I am everything that’s on your mind
You are new, you have eyes
You are drawn to things that shine

Chorus:
云朵般的棉花糖
人人都想把它尝一尝
五彩缤纷的棉花糖
它的味道怎么样?
全部溶在你嘴里
什么不剩在心里

I am near, I am dear
I am nothing that you fear
I am innocent, I am pure
I am everything that you desire
You are quick, you run fast
You choose things that never last

Repeat Chorus

You’d like to think, I’m unaware
I live my life without a care, but I care
And I’d like to think that you could see underneath

I am true, I am real
I am more than what you feel
I am curious, I am strong
I am more that any song
You are funny, you have dreams
You reach out for what you see

Repeat Chorus

Jack 告别 Lyrics

Jack 告别

我不知如何说再见
你总是浮现在脑海
Goodbye goodbye, so long my friend
I think it’s time for this to end

我想看不见光, 我想关上窗
我不想写下我的悲伤
我把你放在心坎上
然后看着你重重地落下

And don’t you come back no more no more
Don’t you come back no more no more
Don’t you come crawling back to my door
Don’t you come back no more

我离不开你,
我拥着你, 直到我俩快窒息
Goodbye goodbye, it’s just a word
I try I try and then I swerve

听着记着有句诗
你耐心听我念一次
当你不在我身旁
我是我,可也不是我

Repeat Chorus
[Instrumental]
Repeat Chorus

Don’t you come crawling back to my door
Don’t you come back no more
Goodbye goodbye so long my friend
I think it’s time for this to end

Water 嗨上海 Lyrics

Water 嗨上海

我在上海 ,一座海上的城市
我在上海,如何拒绝她的魅力?
回忆如潮水

我站在沙滩拾贝壳
希望珍藏美好时刻
每一颗, 都五光十色

Chorus:
I’ve heard this city is haunted by water, haunted by the sea
I’ve heard this city is haunted by water, haunted by the sea
Walking through fragments, through history

我在上海 ,一座海上的城市
我在上海,如何拒绝她的魅力?
回忆如潮水

如同孩子追逐着海风
不知疲倦还乐在其中
因为这里有我的天空

Repeat Chorus

我在上海 ,我在上海
一座海上的城市
我在上海,回忆如潮水

Walking On A Winter Night Lyrics

Walking On A Winter Night

I like walking in the winter rain
It reminds me of all the things you use to say
I’m afraid of the sunset
All those golds and reds
Remind me of the words I should have said

Chorus

How am I gonna free this mind
How am I gonna walk out this time
How am I gonna know the light from the dark
When all I see is the night sky without the stars

I like the desert on a summer day
I listen to the wind when it’s got something to say
I hate the ocean when it makes me cry
It laughs at me when I get salt in my eyes

Repeat Chorus

Darkness is just a path to walk along
Lonely is just a repeating song
I’m a singing along
I’m a singing along

I like storms when they keep me inside
Yeah, the truth is almost as good as a lie
It’s easy to lose this fight
When I’m walking on a winter night

Rhythm and Blues Lyrics

Rhythm and Blues

I am the rhythm
You are the blues
I am the piano
You are the tune

I am the shaker
You’re the tambourine
I am the heart
And you are the beat

I am the lips
You are the kiss
I am the smile
You are my bliss

I am the string
You are my kite
I am the queen
And you are the knight

Chorus

The space between the telephone lines x 4
A little piece of mind

I am the hours
You are the days
I am September
You are my May

I am the arrow
You are the bow
I am the lyre
and you are the poem

I am the suspect
You are the crime
I am the reason
You are the rhyme

I am envy
You are desire
I am passion
You are my fire

Repeat Chorus

I heard you bought a ticket to New York
Do you want me to meet you there too?

I am the rhythm
You are the blues
I am the piano
You are the tune

I am the shaker
You’re the tambourine
I am the heart
And you are the beat

I am luck
You are my charm
I am love
Singing your song

I am always
You are forever
I am alone
But we are together

When You Sleep Lyrics

When You Sleep

I lie awake and watch you dream
Sleepless nights the in-between
Your eyes are closed
You’re softly smiling

When you sleep you’re near but far
No I don’t know where you’ve gone
You’re floated away from me

Chorus

When you sleep, are you dreaming of me?
When you sleep, does your heart beat for me?
When you sleep, are you still in love with me?

Your smile makes me cry
Are you lying by the sea
Laughing with a girl
who looks like me

I want to fall asleep
so I can sink into your dream
Bring you back home to me

Repeat Chorus x 2

If your heart won’t beat for me
And I can’t join in your dream
I’ll suffer through this night
Eyes wide open ‘till daylight
In the flash when morning breaks
Suddenly you wake
Turn to me and say
I had a beautiful dream
I dreamt of you and me

Repeat Chorus

Just A Feeling Lyrics

Just A Feeling

It’s just a feeling that’s yours and mine
It’s just a thought that crossed our minds
It’s just a feeling we can’t let to go
It’s just a thing we used to know

Trembling in the quiet night
Afraid of the dark but certain in the light

Chorus

And who’s to say that we’ve left you alone
Oh love
And who’s to say that we’ve forgotten you
Oh love, will you ever see us through

It’s just a feeling we can’t escape
It’s just a thought that we erased
It’s just a feeling we can’t hide
It’s just a thought that we denied

Soaring in the sky so free
Falling ‘cause it could never be

Repeat Chorus

We fall asleep only to awake x 3

Repeat Chorus

We fall asleep only to awake x 3

Hand In Heart Lyrics

Hand In Heart

I love you means I love you now and I love you then
Before and forever and again and again
I love you in the kind of way
that no one else has ever known how to say

Chorus

She takes his hand, he takes her heart
She takes his hand, he takes her heart
‘Cause I love you means

We can’t climb over, and we can’t get around
We tried to leave, but we turned around
I love you means I’ll be your muse
And when we get old we’ll always be new

Repeat Chorus

The kinds of things that lovers say
are more than the weather or the time of day, don’t you say?

I love you means we’re wise enough to lie
That you’re a little silly and I’m kind of shy
I love you means we lost track of time
I love you like the way you see me in your eyes

Repeat Chorus

I love you now and I love you then
Before and forever and again and again
I love you in the kind of way
that no one else has ever known how to say
I love you means that missing you is killing me
That our love for our love is worth everything

Heavy Things Lyrics

Heavy Things

I need you to carry heavy things for me
Chase away mice, always look twice
Say things that are kind of nice

You don’t have to open the door
or play the shining knight
As long as you like music
Singing songs all night

You don’t have to fix my roof
Change the spark plugs in my car
As long as you can fix a broken heart

Chorus

See heavy, heavy, heavy things
They weigh on me
These heavy, heavy, heavy things
They weigh on me

You don’t have to buy me drinks
or the latest iPad
As long as you tell jokes
that make me laugh

You don’t have to fix my television
Set up my Internet
As long as you can fix a broken heart

Repeat Chorus x 2

You don’t have to be my fairytale
Show up on a white horse
As long as you can be there
to pick me up from the airport

See I need you to tell me everything’s ok
Take away grey, shine bright every day
Promise that you’ll stay

If you ever get this note, I want you to know
If you ever get this note, I want you know
I don’t really need anything,
Except for you to carry heavy things and all of your love

Hey Shadow Lyrics

Hey Shadow

Hey shadow, get out of my way
I’m not going to wait for the right time of day
Dark like a cloud, ready to rain
Hey shadow, you’re driving me crazy

Never together, never apart
There is no ending, there was no start
Just like a negative in photography
Hey shadow, get away from me

Chorus

But you’re too quick
You foolish clown
I try to leave you
But you’re always around
When night falls, you’re hiding away
Shadow lover, you’re wasting my days

You follow me northbound
When everything’s bright
Stand in my way when I wanna fight
Thanks for the thought
but I don’t need a date
Hey shadow, you’re one step too late

Repeat Chorus

La la la la…

Repeat Chorus

You are my sketch, my scenery.
Where will you go if you’re not beside me?
Forgive me for dragging you all around town
I thought you were the one
but the sun went down…

The Bicycle Song Lyrics

The Bicycle Song

They say it’s like riding a bike
You’re a little shaky the first time around
You take a few falls
End up on the ground

They say you gotta hold on tight
Life can take you for a ride
You don’t always get where you want to
even when you try

Chorus

We’ll zigzag switchback
Lose them in our tracks
Take it slow, slow

We’ll zigzag switchback
Lose them in our tracks
Take it slow
When life moves too fast

You make me want to fly
Spin our wheels into the sky
There’s no need to rationalize
This is our fate, our life

Repeat Chorus

We don’t need to zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom
We’ll take it slow
We don’t need to zoom zoom zoom
We’ll take it slow
Who knows we’ll get where we want to go

There’s no way of knowing
Exactly where you’re going
And no one really knows why
So don’t worry don’t worry your mind

Repeat Chorus

They say it’s like riding a bike
You’re a little shaky the first time around
But once you’re in the breeze
It’s all possibilities

Cotton Candy Lyrics

Cotton Candy

I am pink I am blue
All the colors that look good on you
I am sweet, I am kind
I am everything that’s on your mind
You are new, you have eyes
You are drawn to things that shine

Chorus

Cotton candy light as air
Everyone wants to buy it at the fair
Cotton candy bright and bold
Everything you want to hold
Don’t be fooled by fluffy things
Sugar kisses, diamond rings

I am near, I am dear
I am nothing that you fear
I am innocent, I am pure
I am everything that you desire
You are quick, you run fast
You choose things that never last

Repeat Chorus

You’d like to think I’m unaware
I live my life without a care, but I care
And I’d like to think that you could see underneath

I am true, I am real
I am more than what you feel
I am curious, I am strong
I am more that any song
You are funny, you have dreams
You reach out for what you see

Repeat Chorus

Jack Lyrics

Jack

I don’t know how to say goodbye
You’re running, running through my mind
Goodbye, goodbye, so long my friend
I think it’s time for this to end

Chorus

And don’t you come back no more no more
Don’t you come back no more no more
Don’t you come crawling back to my door
Don’t you come back no more

Wanna close the windows, wanna shut the light
Hold my breath, let the pen go dry
I placed you on a pedestal
But it’s time for Jack to fall down that hill

But oh, I can’t let go
I clutch you when I’m feeling low
Goodbye goodbye, It’s just a word
I try, I try, and then I swerve

Repeat Chorus x 2

Don’t you come crawling back to my door
Don’t you come back no more
Goodbye goodbye so long my friend
I think it’s time for this to end

Water Lyrics

Water

I’m on the water, where Shanghai meets the sea
I’m on the water, these days I ache to breathe
These days I ache to breathe

As irresistible as the sea
Could you fall into a melody?
For I think there are innumerable stars

Chorus

I’ve heard this city is haunted by water, haunted by the sea
I’ve heard this city is haunted by water, haunted by the sea

Walking through fragments, through history

Repeat from beginning through Chorus 2

I’m on the water, I’m on the water
Shanghai meets the sea
I’m on the water

La la la…

We Love We Live

We Love We Live Lyrics

We Love We Live

Chorus

We love we live
What’s it all for
Open the windows
Close all the doors

We remember too much
Sometimes we forget that
Memory is cruel
But not as cruel as regret

We believe in the righteous
Until we realize that
One person’s truth is
Another person’s lies

Repeat Chorus

We love we live
What’s it all for
Sadness surrounds us
We sink through the floor

We fight with our fists
With swords and with blades
For things that we own
And things that we crave

Some people say God
Made us this way
Some people say God
Should just stay away

Repeat Chorus

We love we live
What’s it all for
We always want more
And more and more

Some people make music
Some people write plays
Some people make silence
Some throw it all away

We love we live
What’s it all for
Open, close the doors
Open, close the doors

Sometimes we dream
When there are no dreams at all
We’ve climbed so high
Only to fall

Repeat Chorus

We love we live
What’s it all for
A day, a life
Forever more

Evanesce Lyrics

Evanesce

I watch you fade away
Into your mist of memory
I lean in to draw you near

You’ve already disappeared
With my hands I trace
The silhouette of your face

Chorus

With every caress
My love, you evanesce
With every caress
My love, you evanesce

You wander alone in the haze
Hesitate and turn away
I reach out to hold you near
You retreat into your fears
With my hands I trace
The silhouette of your face

Repeat Chorus

In the darkness the past surrounds you
Like the smoke of regret
I rush through the haze and I chase
The shadow of the past away

Repeat Chorus

The wind breaks your memories
You’re staring back at me
I touch my cheek to your face
And forever we embrace

Charing Cross Bridge Lyrics

Charing Cross Bridge

Do you remember Charing Cross Bridge?
I would walk through the morning dim light, cold as icy steel
Lanterns burn the past into a glittering city
The fog holds me, embrace my memories

Chorus

Do you remember, do you remember Charing Cross Bridge?
My memory, my history
Do you remember, do you remember Charing Cross Bridge?
My unfinished dream

Lost in the shadows of Charing Cross Bridge
I would walk in the evening street lights
An undercover cop flashed me his badge next to a novelty shop
The city holds me, imperfect harmony

Repeat Chorus

Lost in Charing Cross, riding the carrousel
Young men play accordion while bankers buy to sell
Lost in Charing Cross, with the juggling acts, tap dancers, and Cabaret acts
The city imperfect harmony

Repeat Chorus

I remember Charing Cross bridge
I would walk through the morning dim light, cold as icy steel
Pillars mark the past through a glistening river
With snow fallen, snow fallen over

Eva Down on Easy Street Lyrics

Eva Down on Easy Street

I’m following a lost melody
Through empty bars on empty streets
Through the long slumber
Of a silent city

I’m searching for light
Beneath a hazy sky
Lost in the darkest of nights

Chorus

Tell Eva down on easy street
The blues are shades of green
Tell Eva down on easy street I’ve forgotten how to dream
I’m following a lost melody

A thousand trumpets bellowing
They turn blues to gold
And the bitter sweet I stop in front of a storefront
They’ve pulled down the shades
Our lives hidden like a masquerade

Repeat Chorus

Along the dusty sidewalks
By the banks where they played
Dancing ghosts on bending roads
Follow brass band parades

Repeat Chorus Twice

The moonlight serenades
Have all been washed away
I’m following a lost melody
I’m following a lost melody

Willow Lyrics

Willow

I can dance like a willow tree
With the clouds and smoke spinning over me
Cover me

Sunset clouds
Flash you a smile
This flying dance
For a melody wild
Cover me

In the softest snow
Amazed is the sky
Where dragons are fire
And water alive

Chorus

Cover me, this willow tree
Through the cloudy night I cannot see
Cover me, this willow tree
I heard the goddess sing a melody
Cover me, this willow tree

The swirling wind
Sings in the night
Streamers of red
Ablaze in the sky

Repeat Chorus

Have you seen them looking down on me?
The clouds with their lives
Have you seen them looking down on me?
The clouds with their lives

Repeat Chorus

I can dance like a willow tree
Through the cloudy night I cannot see
I can dance like a willow tree
Through the cloudy night I cannot see
Cover me, this willow tree

Woodcutter Lyrics

Woodcutter

In a sleepy dream, in a forest far away
I wander as I walk, wander as I walk
Is this reality reverie?

I wonder as I walk, wonder as I walk
Life’s burden on my back
My mind is free at last

Chorus

Walking in the woods with your bare feet on
Cutting down the wood your arms so strong
I’d like to be free as a woodcutter could be
Walking in the woods with your bare feet on
Cutting down the wood your arms so strong
I’d like to be free

Taking down the tress, questioning
Does knowledge set me free, set me free
Life’s burden on my back
My mind is free at last

Repeat Chorus

In bleakness a fable
I recall of strength and hope, strength and hope

Repeat Chorus

Amongst these trees am I lost or free?
The unknown lets me dream, lets me dream
Wandering, I’m free
Wandering, I’m free

Rockaby Lyrics

Rockaby

For you for you, a rockaby for you

I am awake in the night, arabesque wakefulness
September breeze serenading me
I am alive in the night, soaring sleeplessness
Walking London’s streets, paradise my dream

Chorus

My rockaby, a rockaby, a rockaby
My rockaby, a rockaby, a rockaby
My rockaby
For you for you, a rockaby for you

I am amazed by the night, London bridge a flame
Sweet flowing river Thames, sweet flowing river Thames

Repeat Chorus

My rockaby, my rockaby
I’m not afraid of the night
Don’t fall asleep, no never fall asleep
I’m not afraid of the night
No never fear the night

Don’t fall asleep, no never fall asleep
I won’t fall asleep, no never fall asleep
Never fall asleep, never fall asleep

Repeat Chorus

I am safe in the night
Escape to London’s streets
Never fall asleep

Romanticize Lyrics

Romanticize

What is behind the depths of your sea blue eyes?
I see turquoise clarity and dark green mysteries
Your sea blue eyes rock me like a lullaby
But I know that calm days can be overturned by ocean waves

Don’t ever look away
Don’t ever change your gaze

Chorus

Romanticize my eyes
I know that you are lost when you look into my eyes
I know that I am lost when I look into your eyes
Romanticize my eyes

What is behind the depths of your sea blue eyes?
Feel the warmth of sunshine in the streams of colder tides
Don’t ever look away
Don’t ever change your gaze

Repeat Chorus

You whisper from the sea
That you’ll never leave
You whisper from the sea
That you’ll never leave

Repeat Chorus

Romanticize my eyes
I know that you are lost when you look into my eyes
I know that I am lost when I look into your eyes
Stay mesmerized

Water

I’m on the water, where Shanghai meets the sea
I’m on the water, these days I ache to breathe
These days I ache to breathe

As irresistible as the sea
Could you fall into a melody?
For I think there are innumerable stars

Chorus

I’ve heard this city is haunted by water, haunted by the sea
I’ve heard this city is haunted by water, haunted by the sea
Walking through fragments, through history

Repeat from beginning through Chorus 2

I’m on the water, I’m on the water
Shanghai meets the sea
I’m on the water
La la la…

Café Rabelais Lyrics

Café Rabelais

I like Café Rabelais on Tuesday rainy nights
When there’s only one customer who comes at closing time
She says I’ll have the salad Niçoise, dressing on the side
But I won’t have the ingredients you usually put inside
I’ll alter your menu entirely you know
‘Cause I’m a southern socialite, now get my food and go

Chorus

She’s just a bitch
At Café Rabelais and I’d rather be in the kitchen
With the hot chef from Marseilles
He says I roule his poule
Beats us with kitchen rags
Sprays whip cream in my mouth
Tells me I have nice abs

She says hello service, I’m glad you’re here to take care of me
Can I take out my anger, my worst quality
You know I’m not like this when I’m at home
Just ask my therapist
I’m a nice person when I’m alone

Repeat Chorus

She says what did you say
No special forks for Escargot?
Is this a French restaurant or a pig stow?

Lady lady lady… Just eat your snails shut your mouth
Your dressing is on the side, you made your salad yourself
Do you know how to order?
Can you tip more than a cent?
Where is the respect for the service I expend?

Repeat Chorus

Life’s a hell of a party at Café Rabelais
Come back in the kitchen I’ll make profiteroles your way
Chocolate, whip cream, sprinkles, champagne
We’ll finish the night with golden wine from Alsace-Lorraine

Life at café Rabelais is an incestuous ball
Working at French restaurants is the best of all
