Alice in Nighttown

from A song too sweet and wild by Elliot Poe

lyrics

Alice in Nighttown

Berlin seems the right place to raise my head
I listen to the sound of quiet riots on the loose
It suddenly yawns on me this won’t be a sunny day
The pleasure’s gone
But Mercury’s up and ready for the cruise

I keep travelling all around the world
Stopping just for changing horses every now and then
Ready-made and full prêt-à-porter
I take my clothes off and I pass out on a different bed each night

I climb upstage and smoke my cigarette
The flashes blind me but I muster the courage for the cruise
The barrage floods my senses once again
The images will mark the part we’ll leave out of the bruise

The world’s revolving all around my head
There’s still no spark to set the horses
Running up the heights
The forest hides the greenest of the trees
But lights the path that leads straight into Nighttown’s neon lights

Blame New York
Blame Shanghai
Blame the mirrors
And blame the fly
There’s nothing wrong in
Shaking hands sometimes

Drop the needle
Drop the pikes
Contradictions make good bed allies
But nome of them will take you home tonight

Hope to make it
Hope to last
Hope to reach far enough on time
Hope daddy’s gonna pay for my crashed car

So kiss me baby
And kiss me fast
‘Cause our love won’t make it past the night
Hope our kisses don’t leave you no scars

Girl, don’t let the bastards grind you down
They will not only tread on you but
Put their foot in your mouth
There’s no side effects for the medicine
So take the pill and shake the whole foundations of the crowd

So blame New York
Blame Shanghai
There’s nothing wrong in
Shaking hands sometimes

Drop the needle
Drop the pikes
No contradictions will take you home tonight

Hope to make it
Hope to last
Hope daddy’s gonna pay for my crashed car anyway

So kiss me baby
Yeah, kiss me baby
‘Cause maybe our love won’t make it past the night
