The city is a lover who's on his knees
And the night was made for dogs and the dead
I'm on a first floor apartment where the rain is falling like snow
And after three days drinking, as many lovers too
I am baptized, don't be afraid of d**h, let him in
Give him the best seat, take him to bed
Love d**h like a birthday boy
Love him like a mad king
They always let you die before they let you sing
To make it real you must come away
From the middle of where you want and start again, oh...yeah
La-la-la-la-la, start again
He read Eliot to me on the sofa
While i drank a pint of champagne
You know when the words are perfect
Cause they sound like silence, nothing
I'm on a first floor apartment, the rain is falling like hail
And after three days drinking, as many lovers too
I become a genius, don't be afraid of life. let her in
Give her the best seat, give her your knife
Love life like a spiteful twin
Love her like a mad wife
They always let you die before they give you life
Life, to make it real you must come away
From the middle of where you want and start again, oh....yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh...oh, yeah, oh...yeah
Oh...yeah, oh-du-du-du, yeah, du-u-du-du, yeah
Oh...oh-oh, ou yada-oh, nah, ou yada-oh, nah
Ou yada-oh, nah, ou yada-oh, nah, ou yada-oh, nah
Ou yada-oh, nah, ou yada-oh, nah, ou yada-oh, nah
