Lyrics
One Night in Copenhagen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
when the drugs hit you, tingly begins
conviction plus tone equals hope under the threat of separation
the nadir's fluorescent, the shriek of a gull suspended in air
the sound of the sea, anywhere, anywhere
when the drugs quit you, as loyal as a fruit fly you'll mutter to yourself
"you talentless fuck, good fucking luck, good fucking luck"
a delicatessen, shriek of a horn suspended in air
the sound of the town, anywhere, anywhere
it quits you in situ and here it begins
quits you at a payphone in the snow
one night in copenhagen
one night in copenhagen
and you know the nadir's fluorescent, the shriek of a gull suspended in air
the sound of the town, anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
