"Auberge" lyrics

Auberge

On the hard fast train
On the road to gain
Something gets right through
To your telling bone

There's a sudden itch
An electric twitch
Sometimes I swear this body's
Got a mind of its own

This is the naked truth
This is the light
There's only one place left to go
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge

You meet a silent type
On a windy trail
With a shiny cloak
And an unseen silver dagger

You can talk till you ache
Give yourself one more break
You can tell by the look on his face
That it just doesn't matter

Cause this is the naked truth
And this is the light
There's only one place left to go
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge

Oh, give me a weekend
Give me a day
Don't like what I'm seeing
Though I hear what you say

Think with a dagger
And you'll die on your knees
Begging for mercy
Singing please, mister, please

Cause this is the naked truth
And this is the light
And there's only one place left to go
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge

Auberge
Auberge
Auberge
Auberge

Auberge
Auberge
Auberge
