Paroles de la chanson Kesa par Michael John LaChiusa

Tonight I kiss my lover for the last time.
He comes for me at midnight; slipping past the gate; floating to my bed.
I let his hands caress me for the last time.
He knifes into my body forcibly and proud
(my lover is incredibly endowed. Thicker than my husband.)

And as I kiss my lover for the last time
The room dissolves around me; I desert my body; all of time is gone.
Dusk is dawn
Dawn is noon
Late is now
Now is soon
This is what it's like to be God.

I Watch myself outside myself
Sleep and breathe and wake and sigh,
Laugh and kiss and fuck and lie-
My God, it's hell to be God.
Watching from a distance, I neither laugh nor cry
As the floodgates are opened and the innocent die.
A lie becomes the truth and the truth becomes a lie
Lie...
Lie.

Tonight I kiss my lover for the last time.
My husband knows our secret.
I've confessed my guilt; I'll end my lover's life.
And I'll return to my body, to my four-cornered room.
What I've set in motion cannot be reversed.

Time
Will
Resume...
Time...
Time...
Time!
