Lyrics

La grande faucheuse
La grande faucheuse
La grande faucheuse
La grande faucheuse
La grande faucheuse
La grande faucheuse
Angel of death
Let me tell you a story about black
The one memory, the one who threw her right back
He was down, so I took a ride
He moved the best way outta this so I took his advice
Oh, two seconds flat
If I'd known he would've treated me like that
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, two seconds flat
How was I to know he would've done me like that?
He had an empty gaze
In his eyes, like a bear
Took me thoroughly
"I threw the coat away, just like a fox" he said
Oh, who was looking at ya?
Who was a good kid when God was looking after ya?
Whoa-whoa-oh-ah, who make it through?
How was I to know he would've done this to you?
He made his move, then I was down on low
I kept asking to come up for luck
I would take it and he would turn it in
Wait, let me catch my breath
That's black, if you can catch him with it
"I was someone who believed in sin" he said
I think I know just who that is
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, who was looking at ya?
Who was a good kid when God was looking after ya?
Whoa-whoa-oh-ah, who make it through?
How was I to know he would've done this to you?
Dead man now, once was a friend
Ran all the way upstairs just to make my defence
(Save me, save me)
Threw me in the bath, with ice and a slap
Can of coke down my throat
Almost his whole hand fitting in
(Oh, how's it stop, yeah)
First I was amused, closest to death ever been
When the white light went away
I knew death was setting in
If I knew I would tell ya
To keep trouble off I'd tell ya
You're the next one to get
Left with the story, that's when you go mad, that's bad
Oh, who's not looking at ya?
(Angel of death)
Who'll be a good kid now that I'm lookin after ya?
Oh-oh-oh-oh, who'll make it through?
How was I to know black would've turned from me to you?
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
(Angel of death)
