Lyrics

Smashing

Monkey whore showed the pregnant girl the door

For something that she saw

Underneath the bed

And she says it's the devil that she saw

In the mirror that she swore at

And smashed into pieces

Now the flowers in the teapot have all died

Just like the child

Or was that just in her mind?

And she says that her heart is growing cold

And the window will not close

Perhaps she'll put a spell on you

Perhaps she'll put a spell on you

Perhaps she'll put a spell on you

J'adore

Mais tous les jours

La pluie tombe à, torrent

J'adore

Mais tous les jours

La pluie tombe à, torrent

J'adore, I'm sleeping

Mais tous les jours

But everyday

La pluie tombe à, torrent

The rain falls down harder

J'adore

I love you
