PETER GABRIEL LYRICS - Après Moi

"Après Moi"

(originally by Regina Spektor)



I—uh—must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't yours

I—uh—must go on standing

I'm not my own, it's not my choice



La-da-da, da-da-da



Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood



I—uh—must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't-isn't yours-yours

I—uh—must go on standing

I'm not my own, it's not my choice



La-da-da, da-da-da

Ah, uh, uh, ah, uh

La.. da.. da...

La-da-da



Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood



Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your legs

Be afraid of the old

They'll inherit your souls

Be afraid of the cold

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me the flood



Fevral'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!

Pisat' o fevrale navzryd,

Poka grohochuschaya slyakot'

Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.



Fevral'. Dostat' chernil i plakat'!

Pisat' o fevrale navzryd,

Poka grohochuschaya slyakot'

Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.



Be afraid of the lame

They'll inherit your blood

Après moi, le déluge

After me comes the flood



I—uh—must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't yours

I—uh—must go on standing

I'm not my own, it's not my choice



I—uh—must go on stand—stand—ing—dong

You can't—can't—break that—that—which isn't-isn't yours—yours

I—uh—must go on stand—stand—ing—dong

I'm not—not—my own—own—it's not—not—my choice
