Lyrics

Make our escape

You're my own papillon

The world turns too fast

Feel love before it's gone

It kicks like a sleep twitch

My papillon, feel love when it's shone

It kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling

Just don't put down your guns yet

If there really was a God here

He'd have raised a hand by now

Now, darling

You're born, get old, and die here

Well that's quite enough for me

We'll find our own way home somehow

No sense of doubt

Or what you could achieve

Well, I've found you out

I've seen the life you wish to leave

But when it kicks like a sleep twitch

You will choke

Choke on the air you try to breathe

It kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling

Now just don't put down your guns yet

If there really was a God here

He'd have raised a hand by now

Darling

You're born, get old and die here

Well that's quite enough for me, dear

We'll find our own way home somehow

How, how?

It kicks like a sleep twitch

It kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling

Just don't put down your guns yet

If there really was a God here

He'd have raised a hand by now

Darling

Oh, you're born, get old, and die here

Well that's quite enough for me, dear

We'll find our own way home somehow

It kicks like a sleep twitch

It kicks like a sleep twitch
