Lyrics and translation
Original
Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men.
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons.
Little girl wants to make a home with him, and in the middle of the shore she wonders.
You don't know what you asked for. You don't know what you asked for.
And all young lovers know why nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your blue bitch young and handsome, so new to your bedroom floor.
You know damn well where you'll go.
I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all.
From the coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls.
With their bones, they scratch the window. I hear them call.
You don't know what you asked for. You don't know what you asked for.
You don't know what you asked for.
All young lovers know why nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your blue bitch young and handsome, so new to your bedroom floor.
You know damn well where you'll go.
Stay with me under these waves tonight.
And be free for once in your life tonight.
Your blue bitch young and handsome, so new to your bedroom floor.
You know damn well where you'll go.
All young lovers know why nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Blue bitch young and handsome, so new to your bedroom floor. You know damn well where you'll go.
All young lovers know why nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your blue bitch young and handsome, so new to your bedroom floor.
You know damn well where you will go.
Ah, ah, ah.
