La Fee Verte Lyrics
Oh green fairy what you done to me!
I see Lucy in the sky!
Telling me I'm high
I went out for some milk three days ago
I met Dali in the street
He knocked me off my feet
Now I start to see that all's not well
There's police men in my bed
Telling me I'm dead
If only I could show them what I'd seen
I'll have to take you down below
Where insects run the show
Sound and vision
Turning inside out
The lines make you look older
Then you're gone
And every day
I've got someone bringing me down
I've got the eyes of a mad man
I'm chasing round
How does it feel
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river
The neighbours say that I need locking up
Well they wouldn't be the first
To want me in a hearse
No one sleeps for I am still awake
Pass me over la fée vert
I'll give you all a scare
Dogs in handbags
Every one's a star
You look behind your eyelids
Then your gone
And every day
I've got someone bringing me down
I've got the eyes of a mad man
I'm chasing round
How does it feel
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river
I'm not gonna wait for tomorrow
I'll just look back and wait for a sign
I'm not gonna celebrate my freedom
So just send me
Down the river
Every day
I've got some one bringing me down
I've got the eyes of a mad man
I can't look round
How does it feel
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river
I see Lucy in the sky!
Telling me I'm high
I went out for some milk three days ago
I met Dali in the street
He knocked me off my feet
There's police men in my bed
Telling me I'm dead
If only I could show them what I'd seen
I'll have to take you down below
Where insects run the show
Turning inside out
The lines make you look older
Then you're gone
I've got someone bringing me down
I've got the eyes of a mad man
I'm chasing round
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river
Well they wouldn't be the first
To want me in a hearse
Pass me over la fée vert
I'll give you all a scare
Every one's a star
You look behind your eyelids
Then your gone
I've got someone bringing me down
I've got the eyes of a mad man
I'm chasing round
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river
I'll just look back and wait for a sign
I'm not gonna celebrate my freedom
So just send me
Down the river
I've got some one bringing me down
I've got the eyes of a mad man
I can't look round
To live your life where nothing is real
So just send me
Down the river
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The meaning of this song relates to the mental state you get in from drinking large quantities of "La Fee Verte" - "The Green Fairy" - "ABSINTHE!!!"
This song, as mentioned by others before, id about the effects absinthe can have on you. It has a feeling of escapism, disconnecting from this world and simply dying in the end. It is also their tribute to some- Reference of Lucy, as in The Beatles' song 'Lucy With A Sky Full Of Diamonds', along with the psychedelic feel. And then referring to Dalí, which happens to be Mr. Sergio Pizzorno's favourite cartoon character (or comedian? ).
obviously it talks about the effects of the absinthe but this song is also a tribute to the beatles!! see the 2nd verse and the melody: it remeinds me of 'strawberry fields forever','across the universe','i am the warus' and other songs.. anyway good song!
