She won't mind if the place
We stand is marked by ash
She believes what doesn't kill her
Only takes more time to kill her

Then she smiles as she paints
Her lips and does her lashes
Stunning as a taxidermy victim
In a silver cage

I'm arrested by an aria
Brought from the country
Stuck in dumb amazement
Like a dog who's told to levitate

This smash number one
Goes to her lover in the belfry
Singing like a bird in flames
And headed for the window pane

In the coming years
Let's try and milk a fortune off them
I think we're qualified by now

Alouette, gentille alouette
Head to toe so thoroughly
Until we're both dismembered

Alouette, gentille alouette
Naïve, yes, but none the worse
Spinning glue back into horses
I'll never leave the place where you are

Hand in hand into a rented car
Merrily into the abattoir
Spilling out all over
I'll be Noah on the storm
And two by two in love we'll
Speed back into bed and never leave it

In the coming years
Let's try and milk a fortune off them
I think you're qualified by now

Alouette, gentille alouette
Head to toe so thoroughly
Until we're both dismembered

Alouette, gentille alouette
Naïve, yes, but none the worse
Spinning glue back into horses

Alouette, gentille alouette
Head to toe so thoroughly
Until we're both dismembered

Alouette, gentille alouette
Alouette, gentille alouette
