The Back Horn: Serenade

Artist: The Back Horn
Title: Serenade
Words: The Back Horn
Music: The Back Horn

Unable to become a swan the ballerina
dances hysterically in the cage tonight

White
bosom just
like the full moon
I wanna
tear it apart
with a black violin

The music room
broiling from the summer heat
You definitely weren't playing the piano
Your beautiful long fingers
just moving around
The smell of a rotten cat
Holding your voice back

A vampire and a dictator laugh a cappella
If you shoot Physicist Banks in the vein
you shake
the folds of
the darkness
and the heart
in my chest
sings a song

On top of the keyboard
crazed screams gush forth
Even if you paint your lips red like a tramp
I can't dance it alone
this moonlit waltz
Gentle fondling to all of those in their passing youth


Painted in blood
this romance is
rife with sentiment
so much it's nauseating
Noble like
Mary Antoinette,
the pigs are crying, man
Wings soar into the air
dreaming

Translated By: Brian Dunn. I try to write the English so it flows along with the Japanese lyrics as much as possible, breaking the lines with the flow of the singing.

Translator's Note: I translated "aibu" as fondling, and it also has a connotation of caressing, petting, necking, making out, or fooling around. Literally it means "love petting."
