Elisa
Elisa
She has scars on her skinny wrists
and a tattooed shoulder
Poor thing, trying to hide the crosses in her eyes
behind dark shades
She has fallen already as a child
and stayed awake through her youth
and hating her old age now, wanders lost
like the last of her kind
She was born in the place where little girls
grow old too fast
In the place where the people with fear in their eyes
listen to the word of the Lord
There men learn to be men
and women are taught to submit
when in the sweaty back seats of Lada
the wings of their dreams are torn off
Elisa, a girl with a longing of the south in her eyes
Elisa, was born under the northern stars
Elisa, didn't want to give in to her father's will
Elisa, she wanted to fly like the last of her kind
She tells stories from suicide to incest
about Stockholm, booze, junk,
about men and money and all shit
from where I supposedly seek freedom
until one night
in Göteborg in a small alley
and with her glassy eyes stared at the snowfall
and when the ground became white
she became old, she tore her wrists open
and in red letters in the snow, she wrote her name
Elisa, a girl with a longing of the south in her eyes
Elisa, was born under the northern stars
Elisa, didn't want to give in to her father's will
Elisa, now she leaves flying like the last of her kind
The morning she woke up
in a hospital, tied to lie on her back
and watched the white walls
and didn't feel her wings anymore
the harsh wind from east had caught her up
the one that makes old skeletons dance
and those devils spin in her eyes now
she can't bare to watch them sober
Elisa, a girl with a longing of the south in her eyes
Elisa, was born under the northern stars
Elisa, didn't want to give in to her father's will
Elisa, now she drags her cross like the last of her kind
