Song | In the Sanatorium |

Album | Tender Pervert |
作词 : Momus | |
In the sanatorium | |
I've booked a private room | |
Where you can feel at home | |
Where we can be alone | |
Just you, the nurse and me | |
In mountain scenery | |
All the time that you've been ill | |
Your face has looked so pale | |
Drained by the force of will | |
Drained by the wait until | |
My treatment makes you well | |
Or weaker still | |
Half in love with easeful death | |
I cloud the mirror with your breath | |
Half in love with this disease | |
That keeps you close to me | |
Your eyes grow heavy as I read | |
'The Immoralist' by Andre Gide | |
Fall asleep my sickly darling | |
Rest in peace | |
Men you used to know declare | |
Their most sincere desire | |
To travel here and share | |
The treatment you require | |
Their letters saying they care | |
Are on the fire | |
As I interrupt the muslin | |
Hanging round the bed | |
I wake you with the rustling | |
And you raise your head | |
And ask again, your voice uncertain | |
If you're not a burden | |
Half in love with easeful death | |
I cloud the mirror with your breath | |
Half in love with this disease | |
That keeps you close to me | |
Your eyes grow heavy as I read | |
'The Immoralist' by Andre Gide | |
Fall asleep my sickly darling | |
Rest in peace | |
I wonder, as I watch you sleep | |
If this possessive streak | |
Will make me force my love | |
Or if the trick is cheap | |
And if you took your drug | |
And if you're deep enough asleep | |
In the sanatorium | |
I've booked a private room | |
Where you can feel at home | |
Where we can be alone | |
Just you, the nurse and me | |
In mountain scenery | |
(For love will endure or not endure regardless of where we are) |
