[Spoken Intro: Jarvis Cocker and Charlotte Gainsbourg]
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
[Verse 1: Jarvis Cocker and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jarvis Cocker]
In the time it takes a handkerchief to fall to the ground
One of our lives will be over
Brocade waistcoat catches glints of morning light
Silk damask swathed in bottle green memories
[Chorus: Jarvis Cocker and Charlotte Gainsbourg]
We've traveled from station to station
We now approach our final destination
The only way to awake you was to slap your face
So stand up straight and let me take one final taste of you
[Spoken Interlude: Charlotte Gainsbourg]
Before we walk the agreed number of paces
And turn to face our fate
The coup de grace delivered so delicately
You always had such exquisite taste
[Verse 2: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jarvis Cocker, Both]
Morning sky stretched tight as a drum
Tension released in an instant
Brocade waistcoat flecked with blood in the golden light
You were dead before you even hit the ground
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
