Lyrics By Proxy - Alain Bashung

Cry me out, don't want no tears by proxy
Shedding skin for snakes you tried to use
Custom buiIt with no one left to fit you
Too used up from hot and cold abuse

Dance me out, my feet are tired and weary
Two steps to a ballerina bare
The drummer doesn't understand or hear me
Hidin' from the bass inside his snare

Dry me out, the beers' too cold and draughty
A pick-up truck on Sunset Avenue
Wake me up, don't want no tears by proxy
Wrote it on my back in black and blue

Shut me down, I windmilled on Chianti
Just can't seem to fight them on my own
The mirror with a crack, a joke to soothe me
I lent myself to try to be alone

Cry me out, don't want no tears by proxy

Dance me out

Cry me out

Dance me out

Cry me out

Cry me out

Dance me out
