Last night in Calais I met the doctor
With powdered bulbs for healing wounds
Must have been a strong concoction
What once were legs, replaced by snakes
I staggered in to the bedroom
Black velvet curtains hung their heads
"Do you want a little more?"
Mais si tu savais pourtant
"Can I offer you some more?"
With a drawl, the words are slowly spoken
And leave me shaking in my seat
He said I was under for an hour
But I've aged several days
Rusted cigarettes and leaves
Invoke the sounds from carbon trees
Poison smiles on rubber faces
Drain my heavy chocolate veins
Sudden came the bleached-out morning
Skeletal birds in a burning sky
Cobbled stones beneath my leather
Chasing lines along the way
I staggered in to the bedroom
Black velvet curtains hung their heads
