|
The streets are covered in chalk |
|
The shops are boarded up |
|
The bodies are carried back down from the square |
|
He begins to wonder |
|
If it always was this hot |
|
Or is it just the clothes |
|
That he now wears |
|
Napoleon sheds his skin |
|
In the summer when the sun is high |
|
He never knows when to quit |
|
When to stop... |
|
Or when to say die |
|
Pick the bones, get a tan |
|
Or wander underground |
|
She would not have left him anyway |
|
Wait by the sea, wait in the sun |
|
As if the time stood still |
|
Did he get involved |
|
In whichever side that paid |
|
Napoleon sheds his skin |
|
In the summer when the sun is high |
|
He never knows when to quit |
|
When to stop... |
|
Or when to say die |
|
And time stands still behind the distant gates |
|
Time moves on outside in the sun |
|
Then he wonders which side he's really on |
|
Then he doesn't care |
|
It's so gray in there |
|
He just wants to get back to her... |
|
Napoleon sheds his skin |
|
In the summer when the sun is high |
|
He never knew when to quit |
|
When to stop... |
|
Or when to say die... |
|
She waits for him by the wharf |
|
By the sea where they used to go |
|
She sings a song that they'd sing |
|
Then waits for the echo... |
|
Napoleon |
|
Sheds his skin |
|
Napoleon |
|
Sheds his skin |
|
Napoleon |
|
Sheds his skin |
|
I've got to get out of here |
|
Can she save me |
|
I've got to get out of here |
|
Can she save me |
|
I've got to get out of here... |
|
Can you hear me... |
