(this is an almost literal translation with a few tweaks to preserve the rhythm of the song, i.e. you can sing this lyrics to the original chords)
You're taking off an evening dress
silently, facing the wall,
and the scars on your velvety back
are too fresh not to notice them all.
So hurt that I want to cry out,
fall asleep and be numb to the touch.
Where are you wings now?
the ones that I liked so much?...
refrain:
Where are you wings now
your wings that I liked so much?...(x2)
We used to have time that was ours
Now we prove what they mean:
that the strong one simply devours
the weak, and that 'dirty' means 'clean'.
We've all lost so much or so little
in this mind-altering war
where are you wings, so brittle,
yet the ones that could take us so far?
refrain
I'm not asking how rich you are now,
nor if you are married. Tonight
I'm feeling your fear of open windows
and top floors, and your fear of flight
yet, if tomorrow a fire begins
and this house goes down in flames
we will perish without your wings,
the ones that I love all the same.
refrain
