On darkest night, you drink in the rain
I can’t pretend to be the same
Like all of you
You’re not ashamed of who you are
As you tear this world apart
Hope I find myself
You spill your drink over me
Your Hapsburg lips glistening in the moonlight
Unusual models on leather seats
In tiny planes bound for lusty isles
Humble men in frightening frocks
Laughing at French actresses
The international fuck omelette please
On darkest night, you drink in the rain
I can’t pretend to be the same
Like all of you
You’re not ashamed of who you are
As you tear this world apart
Hope I find myself
You shine at the nighttime
As the fat duck fuckers live their lives
Breakfast at the Berghain
Less of what matters
Low information lovers
Toasting the old life
Spilling your drink on me
With your Hapsburg lip
I’ll be anything you want me to be
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me
I got a feeling I wanted to fall
I got a feeling I wanted to fall
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
I got a feeling I wanted to fall
I got a feeling, I got a feeling
I got a feeling I wanted to fall
On darkest night, you drink in the rain
I can’t pretend to be the same
Like all of you
You’re not ashamed of who you are
As you tear this world apart
Hope I find myself
