La panique mécanique [English translation]

When I panic the mechanics of my heart derail like I'm some rusty train

Loco steam locomotive wheeling on the rails of my fears

Fear of what? Fear of you, or me without you, look

See the steam leaking from under the rails

That’s the mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

The mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

At this hour, I’m a bell that’s taken its toll gone mad in a desert of blue smoke

The fear of going, going, the whims

Of coming and going trigger a crash

That I'll learn to avoid next time, but for now

See how it’s starting to roar, I’m popping popcorn in my heart

That’s the mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

The mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

Woe to me if I don't have you waiting for me at the train station

My heart is heavy and doesn’t float in oceans, even pacific ones

It’ll sink like a stone and a heart with spades, I know, is not terribly good at loving

The devil take you mists with your haunted trains

At so late an hour, I could conjure up sublime women phantoms

Blondes or brunettes carved out of mist

I could even tear them to shreds but they don't mind, and sign, your humble Jack the Ripper

Don’t be afraid my boy, you’ll learn quick how to scare to survive

Don’t be afraid my boy, you’ll learn quick how to scare to survive

That’s the mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

The mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

That’s the mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

The mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

That’s the mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive

The mechanic panic of my heart, loco locomotive loco steam locomotive
