Oh, tes amis avec les drogues, je dois dire, c'est mon avis, ils sont des Apaches.
Ils sont des méchants.
Qu'est-ce que ça peut te foutre, toi, dégueulasse.
Je peux faire ça que je voudrais faire.
Ne te préoccupe avec moi, plus en couple avec toi.
Je peux faire l'alcool, je peux faire le zizi et tout ça.
Je peux faire tout que je voudrais faire !
In Italian, le même chose
Premièrement, vous prenez de la guitare. Après ça, nous parlons, nous parlerons des italiens.

To smell the foul and the cleaning up products at 2 am]
Let her go
[We can't go back now to the light
We still want darkness
Angels
Angels
Let me come back up into light
But not quite yet
Tomorrow, tomorrow
That's what we say
Tomorrow we say
Let us go suffer more into the dark
Let us vomit more
Let's feel the pain of the ???
Just once more
Never again, well except now]
[[Makes a joke off mic]]
[See what happened was
When I hung around enough
As a teenager
I hung around my favourite group were the biggest druggies you ever saw
I asked them "do I need this drug stuff?"
They said "Jonathan, you don't need it"
I said "thank God, cause I hate needles"
I hate stuff like that
???
I would like run the other way
It's a big sigh of relief at seventeen years old
Cause I didn't want to do stuff like that
I moved to New York
And one of the guys who was part of that scene
Said "Jonathan, you got to try pot"
I said "but I hate it"
"You've never tried it"
"I know but I've heard the music people make on it"
"I don't want to play like that"
"You've got to at least try it"
I'm 18 years old and in his apartment in New York city
I take one drag
Which isn't supposed to be enough to get you stoned
Maybe I was just kidding myself but I was hungry
That's supposed to be one of those signs
But it made me want to fight
I took it again about a year later
At our house
Like a friend was staying over
And again it made me want to fight
Pick fights with people so I could be important
If this does this I better never in my life get drunk
So I never did
???
I think I better never get drunk
Just cause of trying pot which I didn't like
It made me mad
It made me think "Oh no"
I'm calm but it's this fake calm
I want to be
I'd rather be real nervous than this fake calm
That's just me
That's all my chemicals or something
Some people like it I understand]
Let her go then
Let her learn if she wants to suffer
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go
Let her go
Well she's back with her old boyfriend
He don't challenge her He don't contend with her
And she won't answer the cards you send
You're jealous of the time he spends with her
[Don't be so jealous]
If she wants to go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let us all go into the darkness
Rather than just wish
For the comfortable position
In our pastel hues
Of fake spiritual stuff
Wishing we were doing dark stuff
No but wishing wee were doing dark
I think it's better to do dark stuff
For as it is written
Better a sincere denizen of the dark
Than a false mirror of the light
And eventually
You just learn
Hey I'm bored in the darkness
I'm tired of porno movies and cocaine and shit
The darkness is so one dimensional
Let her go if she wants to try
The alley behind the bar
One more time
If she wants to try
The anonymous hotel room
One more time
We played in the dark
We've played in the dark
Now we want to come home
Home
We want to come home
No we're not ready quite yet
Let us go then one more dip into the darkness
I don't think we're quite ready
I'm not sure quite ready
Maybe we need one more dip into the darkness
Maybe
