Bonjour Tristesse - Alienation lyrics

Artist: Bonjour Tristesse

album: Your Ultimate Urban Nightmare


"As a stranger I wander through this lifeless city
The bodies of the living dead walk along these filthy streets
They limb through the garbage of bygone generations
The bloody blacktop swallows the sound of the collapsing
We all have holes in our hearts
A void that can never be filled
Isolation is the consent reigning our lives
Among paved paradise and concrete hell
We all will die of despair or loneliness"
The flesh covers the bone
And they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul
And the women break vases against the walls
And the men drink too much and nobody finds the one
But keep looking crawling in and out of beds
Flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh
There is no chance at all - we are all trapped by a singular fate
Nobody ever finds the one
The city dumps fill
The junkyards fill
The madhouses fill
The graveyards fill
Nothing else fills
We had trust – and been betrayed
We had love – turned into hate
We tried to collect some stars to enlighten this perpetual night
But a clouded sky always cloaked our attempts to find some light
So put your fear into a bottle
Chomp it, swallow the shards, breathe strife
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Witness alienation deprave your life
