Traffic [English translation]

Virtue Traffic

I love or kill

Need no magic.

Out of my sight.

I still love you

But I send first

the cries of towns

on some vinyl.

Taxi driver

an adders' nest

solitary cop

who's fallen down.

Some porno love

Each their own skin.

I sell some spleen

Pure origin..*

And, slowly, I see

all that universe

becoming colder.

The final countdown

nuclear era *

The last landmarks* burn

under the lasers

of the lack of love.

What d'ya want me to be ?

in that society ?

An angel , a cobra

a killer or a rat ?

Where d'ya want me to live,

in the radioactive?

When d'ya want me to die

on some nice minor chord?

Plastic and shock

Credit or cash

The more you hide

The more you're off

I'm addicted

to the loonies

Billions of flashes

keep playing squash.

Just look at you

just look at me

We don't see each

other, we're lost

stay or make off

die here or fight

stop that slow dance

too fast to dance.

And, slowly, I see

all that universe

becoming colder.

The final countdown

nuclear era

The last landmatks burn

under the lasers

of the lack of love.

What d'ya want me to be ?

in that society ?

An angel , a cobra

a killer or a rat ?

Where d'ya want me to live,

in the radioactive?

When d'ya want me to die

on some nice minor chord?

Withered watches

Flower gone wrong

I used to be

always on time. *

Desert stomach

icy whisky

a dubious bar

it's a glass-cage.

In the great din

of sleeping noise,

I lied to you

I still llve you,

In the great din

of sleeping noise,

I lied to you

I still love you.

And, slowly, I see

all that universe

becoming colder.

The final countdown

nuclear era

The last landmarks burn

under the lasers

of the lack of love.

What d'ya want me to be ?

in that society ?

An angel , a cobra

a killer or a rat ?

Where d'ya want me to live,

in the radioactive?

When d'ya want me to die

on some nice minor chord?
