lyrics

Part I

what can i do? what should i do?
don't look at me, friends 
i know i look distressed 
and i look at my chest 
as i would look at the heavens 
to cry to the predestined

and i can't love you
and i can't kill you

Part II

mais dès que j'ai atteint la cime de la colline de saint croix, j'ai levé mes yeux et regardé une étoile...
et j'ai vu que l'étoile était une petite chienne dans une capsule en métal...
elle se sentait très seule et elle ne rêvait pas...
elle ne savait pas ce qui se passait...
et moi non plus...

Part III

we try but cannot be discrete 
‘cause all those boys and girls we meet
we sidestep, magnets north to north
we're just on different trains of thought 

different strain of heads
and how does it feel when 
half the world now wants you dead?
