--- (Intro) (Verse) A city outside spins noisily at night The city inside my mind is silent after a wintery, nuclear night But I am not alone for long I am not alone for long Everything is lighting up Everyone is giving up But I can not give you up I can not give you up I am sleeping in a cardboard box outside your old place I am hiding in your bedroom, I am seventeen years old And I have never seen anything as beautiful Anything as beautiful (Repeat Verse Pattern) The electricity is screaming through my room The lady's family is scowling at her misdirected groom But he is not here alone And she is not here alone That's the world and it's caving in It's a swirl and it smiles for you when you breathe it in But I can not breathe you in I can not breathe you in (Repeat "Chorus" Pattern) I am writing from a hotel room in Casablanca I am hiding in your bedroom, I am forty-eight years old And I have never seen anything as beautiful Anything as beautiful (Bridge) This, this is not, this can not be happening, not to me This is not happening, not to me No this, this is not, this can not be happening, not to me This is not happening, not to me End on
