Armistice

Album: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (2009)

  • Dahlias, they come from me
    A promise to get well
    That ain't workin', thinkin' that you're no good
    Don't worry 'cause I'm not the kind to kiss and tell
    No dahlias and cherry trees
    I don't recall them anyway
    Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out
    To each his own, the same
    Look what you wasted

    When the lights are cutting out
    And I come down in your room
    Our daily compromise it is
    Written in your signed armistice

    And when the lights are cutting out
    And I come down in your room
    Well, we'll decide as always
    Here is your signed armistice

    It's time to follow, and not to heat it up
    Requesting this plane is a propeller
    In the middle of the course when ambitions are low
    Head on close, hang on before you lose control
    The octagon logo, had to rip it up
    The semaphore message on your lips
    Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out
    To each his own, the same
    One of us is wasted

    When the lights are cutting out
    And I come down in your room
    Our daily compromise it is
    Written in your signed armistice

    And when the lights are cutting out
    And I come down in your room
    Well, we'll decide as always
    Here is your signed armistice

    For lovers in a rush
    For lovers always
    Foreign lovers in a rush
    Keeping promises

    For lovers in a rush
    For lovers always
    For lovers in a rush
    For lovers always

    Foreign lovers in a rush
    Keeping promises
    For lovers in a rush
    For lovers always Writer/s: Christian Mazzalai, Frederic Moulin, Laurent Mazzalai, Thomas Croquet
