When your dead rope machine grows cold I'll make you another one out of gold Oh, and when we die - a beast like everyone We'll find you and remind you You shined once C'est la vie, la vie What may be has already been - it's all the same And you dance your magic dance And you try so hard you try To retie all those bitter ends and push them back inside Here's my halo... I don't think I'll need that There's a stranger at the door He cuts with frayed incisions on the rope we hold Oh and when we die - a beast in all of us Will find you and remind you You shined once C'est la vie, la vie What may be has already been - it's all the same And you dance your frantic dance And you try so hard you try To retie all those wicked skins and push them back inside Here's my halo I don't think I'll need that And I... Wherever I will go Wherever I go I wear that coiled fear And in a way the riddle ends When we can but only, and always doubt So let it all out, let it all out You and I will cut our nooses loose You and I will draw a course If you and I can find a few more minutes To find a way to find a road You and I will never be alone
