The Devil, Probably

From Red Krayola Wiki

Lyrics

What's wrong? Open the door!

What's wrong? Open the door! I was scared. What happened? What's wrong? Open the door! I was scared. What happened?

You can't lie Underwater Like on a bed And then just wait. You can't lie Underwater Like on a bed And then just wait.

You can't Lie underwater like on a Bed And then just wait. You can't Lie underwater like on a Bed And then just wait.

It's impossible Wait for what? It's impossible Wait for what?

Idiot! Do you know the mess You can get me into? Idiot! Do you know the mess You can get me into?

Lyrics: Stephen Prina - adapted from Robert Bresson

What's wrong with you?

Open the door!

Qu'est-ce que tu as ?

Ouvre !

00:32:50
Open the door! Ouvre ! Ouvre !
00:33:00
I was so frightened.

What happened?

J'ai eu si peur.

Qu'est-ce qui t'est arrivé ?

00:33:11
You can't rest your head underwater,

as if on a pillow, and wait.

On peut pas poser sa tête

au fond de l'eau

comme s'il y a un oreiller

et puis attendre.

00:33:14
It's not possible. C'est pas vrai, c'est impossible.
00:33:16
- Wait for what?

- I don't know.

- Attendre quoi ?

- Je ne sais pas.

00:33:22
This? Ca ?
00:33:23
Idiot. Imbécile !
00:33:24
Do you know

what trouble you could get me into?

Est-ce que vous savez au moins les

ennuis que pourrait me causer

votre absurdité ?
