Lyrics
Eyes will drift to the sky in time
While arms keep holding tight
There’s a party in full force
Still the guests can’t help but watch the door
Expressing your uncertainties
Through years of anniversaries
Then five years down the line
You’ll say: she was never my type
Lovers are strangers
There’s nothing to discuss
Hearts will be faithful
While the truth is told to someone else
When you look off
Tell me who you really love
Fall comes by surprise
Looking into strange eyes
Like school kids who are not friends
In the streets they are connected
Huddling in the dark
The only number you call
Magic moments are not lost
They’ll outlive all your doubts
Lovers are strangers
There’s nothing to discuss
Hearts will be faithful
While the truth is told to someone else
When you look off
Tell me who you really love
Aviva, Aviva
Come on let’s have a threesome
Aviva, Aviva
It’s how our love must end
In the night the telephone is ringing
Someone is sleeping underneath our bed
Secrets listen in on our conversations
We know there’s a boogie man in both our heads
Let this love be what it wants
It wants to be fucked up
Always been the story of
Two brunettes and a blonde
Aviva, Aviva
Come on let’s have a threesome
Aviva, Aviva
The truth is always fresh
Met you in the middle of a snowstorm
Then it turned out you were living with that blonde
Soon she was looking at me sideways
Then we went round and round and round
In a dress with six arms
Two girls is not enough
Always been the story of
Two brunettes and a blonde
Aviva, Aviva
Come on let’s have a threesome
Aviva, Aviva
It’s how our love must end
Aviva, Aviva
Go on and call that shiksa
Aviva, Aviva
Let’s all go out for lunch
Aviva, Aviva
Come on let’s have a threesome
Aviva, Aviva
The truth is always fresh
Aviva, Aviva
Go on and call the shiksa
Aviva, Aviva
It’s how the story ends
It doesn’t matter what you create
If you have no fun
Pretty girl, put down your pen
Come over here
I’ll show you how it’s done
I can dance
I can drink
In the dark
It’s all a trick
Across the room
Across the street
I’m in the moment
Can’t you see
I’m a party girl
Do a twirl
See my eyes throw a glance
Can’t you tell I’m a natural
Life of a party girl
Funny girl
Make you laugh
Want me bad
Now I feel so much better
In the back of a car
I just met them tonight
And I feel like such a star
What’s your name
What’s your art
Nobody knows
About my broken heart
Yes I’m a party girl
Crazy girl
See my lips how they move
Can’t you see I’m a natural
Life of a party girl
Sexy girl
I used to be so fragile
But now I’m so wild
What did you do last night?
Oh I was out so late now I’m so tired
I used to cry
But now I don’t have the time
I used to be so fragile
But now I’m so wild
In her eyes
I’m drawn to the reflection of my demise
My grimace on a screen one mile high
My whole world on a plate for you to try
Relationships are compromise
I kiss the hand of my destroyer
With love I watch her watch me cry
How marvelous my house on fire
Come inside
And help yourself to anything that’s mine
Kiss me ’til the tears fill up my eyes
Push me down the stairs and watch me climb
Just to see you smile
I kiss the hand of my destroyer
With love I watch her watch me cry
How marvelous my house on fire
I’ll pretend I don’t mind
I’ll play the dying swan tonight
My feathers will fill up the sky
And fall down by your side
You are the sunshine of my life
you cried in the car, in the car, all the way
I just sat and waited
said I’d be with you, ’til the end, ’til the end
I left you at the farm instead
from the first, very first time she walked into my room
somehow you already knew
time to go see the stars, love has kept us hidden away
seeing things is good they say
never could understand leaving your love behind
guess that means I’ve changed my mind
suddenly goodbye means more than just goodbye
I won’t be there when you die
said that I’d be with you, ’til the end, ’til the end
I left you at the farm
instead
I left you at the farm
instead
I left you at the farm
instead
the camera spins around the room
past all the faces that I’ve known
I see their smiles in black and white
in the dark, friday night
my friend we share a secret:
tonight the film is turning
our shadows flashing through the halls
through the stairwells
clanking bottles
it’s friday night
and there are tears in my eyes
my friends and I
are dancing in black and white
we’re lonely people you and me
still we don’t talk call too frequently
sometimes when water’s burning hot
feels just like freezing cold
but I know much of you
you’re my favorite asshole
tonight we’ll slip away without a word the way we do
we know we’ll find each other soon
on friday night
and there are tears in my eyes
my friends and I
are dancing in black and white
I’ll be your woman with unwavering eyes
Aflame with the spirits and the mysteries of life
The hands of a healer and a samurai
I’ll be your woman and you can be mine.
I’ll be the gypsy on a path through the trees
The deal maker with front row seats
Who turns from the armchair and the picket line
I’ll be your woman and you can be mine.
Not your princess, not your stallion-
an ambiguous complex creature
Not your teacher, not your shivering doll-
But hunkier than your neighbor
Not your mummy, not your daddy-
I’m over being daddy
Not your stallion, don’t you lay down-
Get yourself a sailor
I’ll be the mirror where you are a queen
Your fellow magician of the waking dream
Hung with a hammer and a glass of wine
I’ll be your woman and you can be mine.
