Barely Rebel - First Night in the Old World Lyrics

A quiet night, the lights burned bright
The moon was watching patiently, at the outset of their history
It's time, the band's on stage, about to start
"Hello, bonsoir!", smiling from behind him
The moon still watching quietly, building on the mystery
Not long, till they danced to her favorite song
The city was gorgeous when he saw it from her window
And the buildings, they were watching, with a subtle innuendo
She's like a painting of Lautrec's, with the taste as sweet as cherry wine
He could feel it in his particles
The chemicals were flowing through his bones
Her wilderness was flooding him, her words turned into poetry
At first night in the old world
Now he's hitting all the obstacles
Reflecting at the thought of no goodbye
Puzzled by the in-betweens, thinking what they could have been
At first night in the old world
And in the dawn, in the unknown
A little piece of heaven was hidden in the corner of her smile
He gazed at her, it took a while
He watched the skies, he closed his eyes
Their destiny was drafted on rockets of desire out in space
He turns around and then she fades
"I'm out, see you later, bonne journée, tout est beau"
Her words brimmed with the poison of an ivy bordeaux
Left shivers down his spine, wounds old as time, and a taste of bitter cherry wine
He could feel it in his particles
The chemicals were flowing through his bones
Her wilderness was flooding him, her words turned into poetry
At first night in the old world
Now he's hitting all the obstacles
Reflecting at the thought of no goodbye
Puzzled by the in-betweens, thinking what they could have been
At first night in the old world
He could feel it in his particles
The chemicals were burning all along
And in that moment he would dive, he was feeling so alive
At first night in the old world
Now he's hitting all the obstacles
Reflecting at the thought of no goodbye
Puzzled by the in-betweens, thinking what they could have been
At first night in the old world
