Lyrics and translation The Cure - Killing an Arab (Three Imaginary Boys Demos 1978)
Standing
on
a
beach
Debout
sur
une
plage
With
a
gun
in
my
hand
Avec
un
flingue
dans
la
main
Staring
at
the

Fixant
la

Staring
at

sand
Fixant
le
sable
Staring
down
the
barrel
Fixant
le
canon
At
the
Arab
on
the
ground
De
l'Arabe
sur
le
sol
See
his
open
mouth
Vois
sa
bouche
ouverte
But
hear
no
sound
Mais
n'entends
aucun
son
I'm
alive
Je
suis
vivant
I'm
dead
Je
suis
mort
I'm
the
stranger
Je
suis
l'étranger
Killing
an
Arab
Tuer
un
Arabe
I
can
turn
and
walk
away
Je
peux
me
retourner
et
partir
Or
I
can
fire
the
gun
Ou
je
peux
tirer
sur
le
flingue
Staring
at
the
sky
Fixant
le
ciel
Staring
at
the
sun
Fixant
le
soleil
Whichever
I
choose
Peu
importe
mon
choix
It
amounts
to
the
same
Cela
revient
au
même
Absolutely
nothing
Absolument
rien
I'm
alive
Je
suis
vivant
I'm
dead
Je
suis
mort
I'm
the
stranger
Je
suis
l'étranger
Killing
an
Arab
Tuer
un
Arabe
Feel
the
steel
butt
jump
Sentir
la
crosse
en
acier
sauter
Smooth
in
my
hand
Lisse
dans
ma
main
Staring
at
the
sea
Fixant
la
mer
Staring
at
the
sand
Fixant
le
sable
Staring
at
myself
Fixant
moi-même
Reflected
in
the
eyes

les
yeux

on
the
