Never Know (Never Know)

you’ll never know what hit you
never know, never know
you’ll never know what hit you
oh you’ll never know
it might be a train
it might be a headlight
of a rolling car
it might be a rock
wrapped inside the rain
or a bullet from a shooting star
it might be your shadow
we never know what controls the night
our imagination is no reliable guide
to the morning light
it might be a stranger
never know, never know
it might be the nextdoor neighbor’s dog
oh you’ll never know
our imagination is no reliable guide
to the morning light
when we know who controls the heart
then we’ll know who controls the night
it might be love or it might be rage
or something from a broken heart
or something left over from a dream
un objet d’art
ou bien tu sens des fleurs
dans le fleuve, dans le soir
a tongue in a foreign language
licks your neck and you fall apart
you’ll never know what hit you
never know, never know
you’ll never know what hit you
oh you’ll never know
