(feat. Marianne Dissard)

I live out yonder where the snakes and scorpions run
got myself a little goldmine to bank on
but one day my heart sank when i saw madame in town
i knew her love would be the death of mine

l'amour passait, l'amour obsolete
pourquoi perdre sa vie a chercher l'or d'un coeur?
je ne me noierai pas dans ce désert mystique
je ferme mes comptes et je repars

do me a favor while i'm hanging here
take this gold and go and hide
(Ne gigote pas, chérie, sur ta corde pendu)
don't worry i'll be free in no time

she promised me she would be there when i'd return
she didn't say she'd have an army there as well
she whispered, "j'taime baby" as she fired that gun at me
it's getting late and i'm running out of time

i should've stayed way out yonder
better off with the scorpions and snakes
(every act which has no heart will be found out in the end)
guess i'm a little late this time
cause her love would be the death of mine
mine, all mine
