CocoRosie - R.I.P. Burn Face

Lyrics taken from www.lyricsmania.com/cocorosie_...
(if there are any errors, let me know)
R.I.P. Burn Face
In her mourning
In her grave
Don't you miss the way
That she brushed her heavy hair
Oh la la la la la
Acid burned face clowny tear smile
She's the one who made you wild
She made you question all your answers
Made you beg for her forgiveness
Baby girl, don't cry
Momma's gonna buy you a glass eye
And it will glimmer like starlight
She's got no reservations
Ain't got no place to be
He graveyard's in the backyard
Where the meadows used to be
Lord knows my destination
Lord's heard my inner prayer
Mom'll find me by the river
Sunken with her party balloons
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea...

the voice in intro is Persian, she said : " If I smiling, because there is a kind of unhappy smile, I can't even cry ... " this song is about an Iranian lady who died after being splashed with acid. Thank you CocoRosie

[@charliez077]

[@syierarose5300]

This is my favorite of their songs.

@Nayako Sadashi no its not dear friend ......not by us ......at least and not by all my dear friends too ....

[@hervelakotasunka2625]

One of my favorites songs. Touching heart and soul so deeply.

[@Thespiriticlan]

at the beginning there is some farsi and I can roughly translate is as something like "even when I want to cry, I have no tears left". Yet again, it's a rough translation, but that's what it says.

[@kyrieUS]

OMG thank you! I've been wondering what the language at the beginning was. Can you possibly translate the rest of the farsi lyrics in the song??

Амелия X
it says : if we are laughing . that laughter is coming from our cries. i have no more tears left.
in middle of the song it says : i always think i will never see my family again.
and at the end it says : i will never see my family again. sry if i have any grammer mistake English isnt my first language .

[@thepanopticalpoet.erinjbauman]

It was only after going to Iran I realised that the voice in the background is in Farsi. It was a Newton moment haha
