Bilingual
I could hear that bass two blocks away
Blowing through the southern wind
And it got dark in the strangest way
Slowly, slowly came this way
Like nighttime moves through the trees
Something about the way the metal sways
You can't move, you can't leave
I see two bright eyes shining in the night (ah)
Something in the street staring back at me
I see the shimmering lights
Shaking all the homes from the afterlife
Made out of silver chrome
And I swear, I see a ghost dance, dancing in the headlights
At the same time as the bass line
And the whole damn world starts to shiver at the same time
As the bass line, you know it's nighttime
Six tinted windows and pearly white teeth
I guess you're the wolf, and Peter is me
She lives in a lake of emerald green (ah)
She strangely spoke French to me (ah-ah-ah)
From the willow to the crows and everything that grows
Every, everybody knows
She's the queen of everything (ah, ah)
She said, "Viens, viens ici
Je mange ton cลur, je te mange toi whole
Je mange la vie, je mange la mort"
Something's in the woods again
(And that something's wicked, but it feels good)
(Everybody knows)
She said, "Shush now," with a wicked look
Six tinted windows and pearly white teeth
I guess you're the wolf, and Peter is me
I could hear that bass two blocks away
Something's in the woods again
I could hear that bass two blocks away
Something's blowing in the southern wind
And I swear, I see a ghost dancing in the headlights
At the same time as the bass line
