INXS
- In Vain Lyrics / with translationsWell just the other day
While alone in my room
I said to myself
I need something new
I've cut a new life slice
And feed the lions twice
And they'll shake their mains
In confusion
My love, my love's in vain
My love
Put a bet on everything
It'll come up fine
My fingers are crossed
And tapping in time
You got a pretty face
Such a pretty pretty face
You can brush your own mane
Fame is your pain
My love, my love's in vain
My love
Maybe an older woman will
Show me a way to
Ease those creases and
Crave no reason cause
Reasons are with gods
There's a heaven within me
But we all shake our manes
In confusion
Should I grab you by the collar?
Or just go my way
With a knife between my
Clean white teeth?
Don't want your feather in my cap
Don't care about that
You can f*ck your own mane
Fame is your pain
My love, my love's in vain
My love
While alone in my room
I said to myself
I need something new
I've cut a new life slice
And feed the lions twice
And they'll shake their mains
In confusion
My love, my love's in vain
My love
Put a bet on everything
It'll come up fine
My fingers are crossed
And tapping in time
You got a pretty face
Such a pretty pretty face
You can brush your own mane
Fame is your pain
My love, my love's in vain
My love
Show me a way to
Ease those creases and
Crave no reason cause
Reasons are with gods
There's a heaven within me
But we all shake our manes
In confusion
Should I grab you by the collar?
Or just go my way
With a knife between my
Clean white teeth?
Don't want your feather in my cap
Don't care about that
You can f*ck your own mane
Fame is your pain
My love, my love's in vain
My love
