Werewolf Songtext
von CocoRosie

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight, of mortal fight

Broken sundown, fatherless showdown
Gun hip, swollen lip, bottle sip, yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls
Sky blinding, crumbling walls

Never sweep away my memories of
Children′s things, a young mother's love, before the
Yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst, open wounds, bleed fresh

A young brother, skinny and tall my
Older walks oceanward and somber, slumber, sleeping
Flowers in the water
But I′m just his daughter


Walking down an icy grave
Leading to my schizophrenic father
Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power

I′m a shake you off though
Get up on that horse
And ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

I′m a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

I'ma shake you off though
Look back (with no remorse)

He′s a black magic wielder, some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was vile and
I raise my arms and I'm her child and
He was the bastard that broke up the marriage

Evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice
Diamonds coruscate in the night
Fireworks, electric bright


And now he′s got his own two sons
Tries to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June

Swoon over new young heart flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator
Laugh now alligator

Oh, In a dream my father came to me (In a dream I was a werewolf)
And made me swear that I'd keep (My soul was filled with crystal light)
What′s sacred to me

And if I get the choice (Lavender ribbons of rain sang)
To live in his name (Ridding my heart of mortal fight)
I'll pray my way through the rain
Singing "Oh, happy day!"

I don't mean to close the door, but
For the record, my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul

You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who′s deranged
He had your hands and my father′s face
Another western vampire, different time, same place

I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers

Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy
On this generic love shit
First kiss, frog and princess

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

I′m a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

I′m a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

I'm a shake you off though
Look back with no remorse
