I am a garden (x3)
Well the plants need water
and the plants need sun
the plants need room for the roots to run
The seeds are ready and the air is sweet
so put on your gloves and let’s get dirty
I’ve been making, I’ve been making
too big a deal out of what you would feel
if I gave you the truth and
I’ve been breaking I’ve breaking
The promise I made to be honest and brave
when it comes to you
when it comes to you
I am a machine (x3)
Plug me in and away I go
Turn me on and enjoy the show
I'm a clever jumble of gears and wires
With a his-tory of catching fire
I’ve been making, I’ve been making
too big a deal out of what you would feel
if I gave you the truth and
I’ve been breaking I’ve breaking
The promise I made to be honest and brave
when it comes to you
when it comes to you
I'm still down here
keeping the roaches company
Waiting for my cue
to hitch a ride on someone else's shoe
(oh) witch stuff: sage and candles
oils, stones and tarot
under new moons, humming new tunes
over old ways, too old to change
(Well) I deserve still, I deserve peace,
I deserve chill, I deserve needs
I deserve push, I deserve shove
I deserve looks, I deserve love
I've been waking, I've been waking
Up every day with a cloud in the way
of the sun I'm chasing
I've been taking, I've been taking
Too little pride in the kind of life
I'm just-in-casing
I’ve been making, I’ve been making
too big a deal out of what you would feel
if I gave you the truth and
I’ve been breaking I’ve breaking
The promise I made to be honest and brave
when it comes to you
when it comes to you

la rêveuse veut que tout soit parfait
(the dreamer wants everything to be perfect)
elle aime du café dans son lait
(she likes coffee in her milk)
la rêveuse veut vivre dans son rêve
(the dreamer wants to live in her dream)
et danser dans sa tenue d'Ève
(and dance around in her birthday suit)
non c’est tout faux, on repart de zéro
(no, it's all wrong, we're starting again from scratch)
et de nouveau, elle écrase le château.
(and once again, she crushes the castle)
comme par défaut, tout éclate en morceaux
(like a reflex, everything explodes into pieces)
et de nouveau, elle écrase le château
(and once again, she crushes the castle)
de sable
(of sand)
la rêveuse invente des scénarios
(the dreamer invents scenarios)
dans lesquelles elle peut faire l'imprésario
(wherein she calls the shots)
elle bâtit des murs, construit des tourelles
(she builds walls, constructs turrets)
elle fait venir des vagues mortelles
(she brings in deadly waves)
non c’est tout faux, on repart de zéro
(no, it's all wrong, we're starting again from scratch)
et de nouveau, elle écrase le château.
(and once again, she crushes the castle)
comme par défaut, tout éclate en morceaux
(like a reflex, everything explodes into pieces)
et de nouveau, elle écrase le château
(and once again, she crushes the castle)
de sable
(of sand)
c'est la futilité de l'existence
(it's the futility of existence)
pour nous, dessous l'orteil du géant,
(for us, under the toe of the giant)
entre le marteau et l'enclume:
(between the hammer and the anvil)
à chaque coup et coûte que coûte, on ne doit jamais
(with every blow and come what may, we must never)
craquer !
(crack!)
à chaque coup et coûte que coûte
(at every turn and come what may)
à chaque coup
non c’est tout faux, on repart de zéro
(no, it's all wrong, we're starting again from scratch)
et de nouveau, elle écrase le château.
(and once again, she crushes the castle)
comme par défaut, tout éclate en morceaux
(like a reflex, everything explodes into pieces)
et de nouveau, elle écrase le château
(and once again, she crushes the castle)
de sable

Sweet Crude New Orleans, Louisiana
Pop à la louisianaise.
We are indigenous to South Louisiana. We would like to show
the world that we can make progressive music that also embraces this region's French-speaking tradition. We are joining a small but fervent group of young Louisianians engaged in keeping the language relevant via art. Also we would like to party all the time.
