To Gustave, With Love Lyrics

I've been feeling stuck again

Between the whirlpool and the beast

Been staying up till sunrise

For my lover in the east

Anise seed and apples

That honeysuckle breath

Sweetest in the universe

Lavender and cigarettes

I'll see you in the bottle

The best money can buy

I'll see you in the bottle desperate man

Les Romantiques m'ennuient

Est-ce que tu cherches un ami?

Tu sais qui va t'abattre

Si tu es l'ennemi

Alizarine le matin

La nuit est vert-de-gris

Courage dans ton sang

Amer dans ton esprit

Les étoiles brillent ce soir

Et la pluie, c'est beau

Viens chanter la nuit

Et te sourire à nouveau

It's easy under starlight

But nothing ever lasts

Whistle in the dark until

You're laughing at the past

Je vais te verser un verre

Du vin le plus chère

Et nous boirons ensemble, Désespéré

Ares and viridian

I take it all with pride

G-d and all the goddesses

Excedrin suicide

Fetishize your misery

Poison in the proof

I'd tell you that I'm sorry

But my love I'll tell the truth

It's time to face the music

You're not ready to be done

Still waiting on a hero

And your heroes all died young

I'll see you in the bottle

The best money can buy

I'll see you in the bottle desperate man
