Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I found God

I found him in a lover

When his hair falls in his face

And his hands, so cold they shake

I found the Devil

I found him in a lover

And his lips like tangerines

And his colour coded speak

Now we're lost somewhere in outer space

In a hotel room where demons play

They run around beneath our feet

We roll around beneath these sheets

I've got a lover

A love like religion

I'm such a fool for sacrifice

It's coming down, down, coming down

It's coming down, down, coming down

I've got a lover

And I'm unforgiving

I'm such a fool to pay this price

It's coming down, down, coming down

It's coming down, down, coming down

I found a martyr

He told me that I'd never

With his educated eyes

And his head between my thighs

I found a saviour

I don't think he remembers

'Cause he's off to pay his crimes

And he's got no time for mine

Now we're lost somewhere in outer space

In a hotel room where demons play

They run around beneath our feet

We roll around beneath these sheets

I've got a lover

A love like religion

I'm such a fool for sacrifice

It's coming down, down, coming down

It's coming down, down, coming down

I've got a lover

And I'm unforgiving

I'm such a fool to pay this price

It's coming down, down, coming down

It's coming down, down, coming down

...

Every single night, pray the sun will rise

Every single time, make a compromise

Every single night, pray the sun will rise but

It's coming down, down, coming down

He's coming down, down, coming down

I've got a lover

A love like religion

I'm such a fool for sacrifice

It's coming down, down, coming down

It's coming down, down, coming down

I've got a lover

And I'm unforgiving

I'm such a fool to pay this price

It's coming down, down, coming down

It's coming down, down, coming down

Every single night, pray the sun will rise

Every single time, make a compromise

Every single night pray the sun will rise, but

It's coming down, down, coming down

He's coming down, down, coming down

...

It's coming down, down, coming down

He's coming down, down, coming down

...

It's coming down, down, coming down

He's coming down, down, coming down

...
