À rebours, à rebours
You sent for me
I was knock, knock knocking on death's door
You ignore, adore, À rebours me
You leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Ah you'd let me be
You'd set me free
But what you rob me of is my
Oh poor me, is my liberty
The curtain was calling
"Au voleur" and à rebours
In the mirror bawling
If you want it so much you are gonna have it all
Ah if you really cared for me
Christ knows you'd let me be
You'd set me free
I'm too polite to say
I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It's still nothing at all
I can't defy us all
Tides[Incomprehensible] are now turned and hammered it all
Hammered it all, oh, oh
Ah, no, ah no, ah no
I've been running round this world too much, girl
Pretending not to see
What's thrilling me is killing me
Oh no, I think I understand
What I misunderstood before
How your love gives me so much hope
I am free again, I can see again
But if I should fall
Would you vow today to pay tomorrow
The fuck off big debt I owe to sorrow
Ah, oh, sorrow, sorrow
Ah, oh, oh, sorrow, ah, no, ah no, ah no
À rebours, à rebours, à rebours
