Napoleon Sheds His Skin |
| The streets are covered in chalk |
| The shops are boarded up |
| The bodies are carried back down from the square |
| He begins to wonder |
| If it always was this hot |
| Or is it just the clothes |
| That he now wears |
| Napoleon sheds his skin |
| In the summer when the sun is high |
| He never knows when to quit |
| When to stop… |
| Or when to say die |
| Pick the bones, get a tan |
| Or wander |
| Underground |
| She would not have left him anyway |
| Wait by the sea, wait in the sun |
| As if the time |
| Stood still |
| Did he get involved |
| In whichever side |
| That paid |
| Napoleon sheds his skin |
| In the summer when the sun is high |
| He never knows when to quit |
| When to stop… |
| Or when to say die |
| …And time stands still behind |
| The distant gates |
| Time moves on outside in the sun |
| Then he wonders which side he’s really on |
| Then he doesn’t care |
| It’s so grey in there |
| He just wants to get back to her… |
| Napoleon sheds his skin |
| In the summer when the sun is high |
| He never knew when to quit |
| When to stop… |
| Or when to say die… |
| She waits for him by the wharf |
| By the sea where they used to go |
| She sings a song that they’d sing |
| Then waits for the echo… |
| Na… poleon |
| Sheds his skin |
| Na… poleon |
| Sheds his skin |
| Na… poleon |
| Sheds his skin |
| I’ve got to get out of here |
| Can she save me |
| I’ve got to get out of here |
| Can she save me |
| I’ve got to get out of here… |
| Can you hear me… |
