"My favorite tarot card is Death...how strong are the feelings this card inspires in me. Death symbolizes ultimate challenge and the end of illusion."

"Hungry For You
(J'aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)"
(from Ghost in the Machine

Rien de dormir cette nuit
Je veux de toi jusque'a ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouillés
Complètement couvert de sueur
Nous nous noyons dans la marée
Je n'ai aucun désir
Tu as ravagé mon coeur
Et mois j'ai bu ton sang.

Mais nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi.
Mais nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi.

Tout le monde est à moi
Je l'ai gagné dans un jeu de cartes
Et maintenant je m'en fous
C'etait gagné trop facilement
Ca y est alors ma belle traîtresse
Il faut que je brûle de jalousie
Tu as ravagé mon coeur
Et moi j'ai bu ton sang.

Mais nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi.
Mais nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi.

Mais nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi.
Mais nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi.

No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you.
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you.

Rien de dormir cette nuit
Je veux de toi jusqu'a ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouillés
Complètement couvert de sueur.

I'm hungry for you...

English translation by Benjamin Vincent.

Nothing to fall asleep for, tonight,
I want some of you, until I'm dry.
But our bodies are all wet,
Completly covered with sweat.
We are drowning in the tide,
I have no desire.
You have ruined my heart,
And I have drunk you blood.

But we can do whatever we want,
I will always be hungry for you.

The whole world is mine,
I won it in a game of cards.
And now, I don't give a shit,
I won it too easily.
So that's it, beautiful traitress of mine
I have to burn with jealousy.
You have ruined my heart,
And I have drunk you blood.

But we can do whatever we want,
I will always be hungry for you

Moon Over Bourbon Street
(Lyrics)

There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight.
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all.
I pray everyday to be strong,
For I know what I do must be wrong.

Oh, you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon
Over Bourbon Street.

It was many years ago that I became what I am.
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb.
Now I cane never show my face at noon,
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon.
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast.
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest.

Oh, you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon
Over Bourbon Street.

She walks every day through the streets of New Orleans.
She's innocent and young from a family of means.
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight.
How could I be this way when I pray to God above?
I must love what I destroy, and destroy the thing I love.

Oh, you'll never see my shade
Or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon
Over Bourbon Street.
