A Violent Poison That’s What Love Is (Un Poison Violent C’est Ça L’amour)

What else is a life of the senses but a movement alternating
Between desire and disgust
And from disgust back to desire
From desire to disgust
From disgust to desire

The soul floats always in limbo between the fervour which renews
The fervour which renews itself, the fire which itself expires
The fervour which renews the fire which expires

But the perpetual movement from desire to disgust
From disgust to desire from desire to disgust
The day dream of wandering free never leaves
But do you know what this is?

A violent poison, that’s what love is
An excess dose of which you should resist
It’s like a car
On the speedo 180
You exceed 190
A cascade of blood

I'll give you some advice
If don't want to lose your hide, just let it go.

A violent poison, that’s what love is  
An excess dose of which you should resist

You're chasing a shadow
And it's not even mine
I can wait at the stage door
But what will I find?

For the soul floats always in limbo between the fervour which renews
The fervour which renews itself, the fire which itself expires
The fervour which renews the fire which expires

But the perpetual movement from desire to disgust
From disgust to desire from desire to disgust
The day dream of wandering free never leaves
And now you know what this is

A violent poison, that’s what love is
An excess dose of which you should resist
