I carry a saint in my heart
and a sinner on my bag
My eyes are meek and my head slides right
as Laetitia leans on me
touching these horrible hands of mine
I'm feeling calm
I taste my thoughts
I smell my sweat as it stains this path
leaving traces for the dogs behind
leaving all the proof they need to find me guilty
to charge me things I've never done
as there is no place
no place for the innocent man
I Know I can't hide myself
as long as this sunset mocks my night
I Know I got to protect myself
protect her
to be on guard
to search for a den
Until I'll find myself
Either torn to pieces
Either safe and sound
She wears a long orange dress
with no extra frills
someone could tell it a gown
someone as naive as me
with no knowledge of women, and how they name things
her ribbon is clean
and her socks are white
her wrist is supple
and I think she wears a ring of mine
My f***** sight is repellent
A cruel truth I can't deny
but my eyes are meek and my head slides right
as Laetitia leans on me
touching these horrible hands of mine
I passed the night smoking one of my last cigarettes
I passed the night staring at her gentle mouth
kissing her lips
Crawling my fingers
Upon her l***er hips
My f***** sight is repellent
A cruel truth I can't deny
but my eyes are meek and my head slides right
as Laetitia still leans on me
touching these horrible hands of mine
I got no mirror to comb her hair
no soap to wash her face
I got no brush to clean her teeth
no cloth to polish her shoes
I have to be on guard
to search for a den
taking always the longer less direct road
cause protection
Protection has no end
The m*********** now sleeps deep in this pond
and I feel free
I'm heading west
for five hundred miles
I'm as happy as a bug
and as guilty as a prey
I'm as quiet as a sin
and quick as a fly
My eyes are meek and my head slides right
as Laetitia leans on me
touching these horrible hands of mine
and a sinner on my bag
My eyes are meek and my head slides right
as Laetitia leans on me
touching these horrible hands of mine
I'm feeling calm
I taste my thoughts
I smell my sweat as it stains this path
leaving traces for the dogs behind
leaving all the proof they need to find me guilty
to charge me things I've never done
as there is no place
no place for the innocent man
I Know I can't hide myself
as long as this sunset mocks my night
I Know I got to protect myself
