lyrics

A Turkish bar in red-light Frankfurt. Hotel Life room 23. I carried her bike up, I missed my flight, will I ever come back home. Rats in the corner don't turn on the light, scotch on the nightstand my heart's not beating right. You don't speak english well that's ok, it means that we won't ever fight. Why did I come here where my failures led. If I go back to Paris I might end up dead. Stumbling by the river, praying in the rain. Got to get some more wine before I catch the train. I've got "Leaves of Grass", still there's something in my eyes that makes them turn away. I've got Lucky Strikes and some grim courage, just get me through this day. I watched the sun set into the Seine all fiery red. All fiery red. It was burning just for me. What did you gain now that you're losing me? Is my life one tragic drunk obscenity - I will call you knowing you spent the night with him but you will never know, sweetheart, anyplace I've been.
