lyrics

My fingers smell like cigarettes and
Your mind like trouble babe
Howlin’ on your backseat
I thought you were an illusion, a hologram

I remember
When you were playing folk
Under the June rain
With a ukulele and

When we got bored
We chased the rich neighbourhood
Tryin’ to trespass
In all of their swimming pools

You make me fly high when you sing 'White Rabbit'
Take off my tie dye,your fishnets, i’m ready to roar !
You’re punk ass queer and you get it right
When you take me swim at night

We were aliens
Floating in the vapors
We were fallen angels
Swayin’ on a velvet sky

We had no time for clubs
and no luxury cars
We drove to a drive-thru
In the shopping cart we stole

On the 4th of july,
On the rooftop we left
A graffiti in blue
Sayin’ ‘Supernova’

If every damn night could be like this one
We’d be forever freaks like space monkey
You’re a punk ass queen and you said it right
Midnight swim is a therapy

We were aliens
Floating in the vapours

Nous étions des anges déchus
Se balançant sur le ciel de velour

We were aliens
Floating in the vapors

Mes doigts sentent la cigarette et ton mind like trouble babe
