"Garoux Des Larmes"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Fat Skier Version:
This is my house, roll out the red carpet
Dog head in the window
Never was a little girl
Have wine, I can't drink yet
Day pianos I can't afford, yeah, yeah, yeah
Garoux des larmes
Des filles, filles des larmes
Delire des larmes
Des joues, larmes des joues
Run, run, mama, mama
Drink until you drop
Die until it stops
Volee des cloches
Vouez, vomir, volez
Vive violemment
Vous, voie, vieillard voute
I looked down and all of a sudden realized
I had on a shirt that said 'take me for granted'
And they did, and did
I put it on, I get it, I take it
So I wore guilt in my jeans for a long time
If I'd worn them and I didn't so they didn't see
(Garoux des larmes, des filles, filles des larmes)
I did, and did
(Delire des larmes)
I found these two strings and they say 'watch'
(Des joues, larmes des joues)
This is my house, roll out the red carpet
Hog head on a rag doll
Never was a little girl
Run, run, mama, mama
Drink until you drop
Die until it stops
Volez, voyon
Vide, vive et germe
Voile, vierge
Vil, vire, vitre

Cleaner Light Version:
This is my house, roll out the red carpet
Dog head in the window
Never was a little girl
Have wine, I can't drink yet
Day pianos I can't afford, yeah, yeah, yeah
Garoux des larmes
Des filles, filles des larmes
Delire des larmes
Des joues, larmes des joues
Run, run, mama, mama
Drink until you drop
Die until it stops
Volee des cloches
Vouez, vomir, volez
Vive violemment
Vous, voie, vieillard voute
I looked down and all of a sudden realized
I had on a shirt that said 'take me for granted'
And they did, and did
I put it on, I get it, I take it
So I wore guilt in my jeans for a long time
If I'd worn them and I didn't so they didn't see
I did, and did
I found these two strings and they say 'watch'
This is my house, roll out the red carpet
Hog head on a rag doll
Never was a little girl
Run, run, mama, mama
Drink until you drop
Die until it stops
Garoux des larmes
Des filles, filles des larmes
Delire des larmes
Des joues, larmes des joues
