Leonard Cohen - Sisters of mercy

Tekst :

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can t go on.
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
Oh I hope you run into them, you who ve been travelling so long.
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
Well I ve been where you re hanging, I think I can see how you re pinned:
When you re not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you ve sinned.

Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem.
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.

When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
Don t turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
And you won t make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night:
We weren t lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
We weren t lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.

    Khronos

    Origin of time/the face of old flesh
    Crumbles the earth/my feet and brain
    Collapsing into measures/of natures killing liberty
    Lights gone an empty house/should be filled of empty pain

    CHORUS
    In the light of a young moon
    The cold dark night becomes scary...

    Voulez vous danser

    Señorita listen to the thing I have to do
    Cause everytime I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
    You don t speak English very well, maybe parlez Français?
    Listen, qu est-ce que tu fait?

    Voulez-vous, voulez-vous, voulez-vous danser?
    Voulez-vous danser avec moi tonight?...

    A growing boy needs his lunch

    In lonely gas stations with mini-marts
    You ll find rows of them for sale
    Liquor-filled statues of Elvis Presley
    Drink like a vampire

    His disciples flock to such a fitting shrine
    Sprawled across from his graceless mansion
    A shopping mall
    Filled with...

    So hard

    I double cross you
    And you get mysterious mail
    I ve tried hard not to shock you
    It s hard not to with the things I could say
    Tell me why don t we try
    Not to break our hearts and make it so hard...

    Going fetal

    Everyone is going fetal
    It s the dance the kids all feel
    Just get down under your desk
    Feels like your mama s nest
    Alright

    Everyone is going fetal
    It s the one thats really real
    You re gonna love it if you give it a try
    You just...
