You're blooming
In the night
Bodies moving
In the red light
I've been watching
Watching you score
Making the men
Beggin' you for more

You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free

Skyscraping
Skyline
Moneymakers
Killing time
I've been watching
Watching Singapore
Making arrangements
Croaking «nevermore»

You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free

People are
What people are
What people are

You just wanna be
But a mystery to me
But I'd love to see
Black orchid, wild and free

Black orchid
Blooming in the night

Would you tell me that you love me
If you never really cared
Would tell me that you leave me
If no tears were never shared

Don’t you try to tell me
It’s all over again
Don’t you try to show me
Loneliness my old friend

Every night I want you back again
Every night I’m in the black
Every night I need your love again

I wanna see you dressed in black
I want you back
In black
I wanna see you dressed in black

Should I stay forever lonely
Like I never really cared
Should I answer when you call me
Like those years were never there

Don’t you try to tell me
It’s all over again
Don’t try to show me
Loneliness my old friend

Every night I want you back again
Every night I’m in the black
Every night I need your love again

I wanna see you dressed in black
I want you back
In black
I wanna see you dressed in black

We're like two fingers of the same hand
The Hand of Fate writing on the sand
What does it matter
What does it mean
Can you see the difference
In the lines between

I'm gonna run away with you
Gonna run away into your eyes blue
I'm gonna run away with you
I'm gonna run away-into your eyes blue

We're like two fingers of the same hand
Beautiful strangers of the strange land
What does it matter
What does it mean
Can you feel the difference
And the passion between

I'm gonna run away with you
Gonna run away into your eyes blue
I'm gonna run away with you
Gonna run away into your eyes blue...

August Moon
Where are you
August Moon
Over the sea

August Moon
Where are you
August Moon

Do you believe in August Moon
let me follow you
In August Moon
let me follow you down

Down to the Seven Seas, places I'll never be
Down to the Seven Seas, places I'll never be

August Moon
Where are you
August Moon
Let me believe

On the edge of the world, where the neon screams
Diet Coke religions, shotdown TV screens
American boy loves American girl
Most beautiful people in the shattered world

I do believe in all-American dream
I do believe in all-American dream

On the edge of the world where the freon streams
Snortin' up white mountains in the pools of white limousines
Millenium boy, millenium girl
Most beautiful people in this shattered world

I do believe in all-American dream
I do believe in all-American dream

In God we trust
In cars we rust
And I do believe in all-American dream

Could you tell me pretty baby
How many kisses drive you crazy?
Just one, or none?
'Cause you're always on the run

Some wear diamonds,
some wear millions
I wear roses for their brilliance
Nothing lasts, not forever
Roses and us fade together

You wanna live forever
Get buried in black leather

Let's all die young
It's so easy and fun
27 and you're done
Let's all die young

Could you warn me pretty baby
How many shots drive you crazy?
Just one, or them all?
'Cause you're always about to fall

Some are fake, some are flake
Some shit, you cannot take
Nothing lasts, not forever
The best ones always party together

And you wanna live forever
Get buried in black leather

Let's all die young
It's so easy and fun
27 and you're done
Let's all die young

The world is a mess,
Elaborate kiss
Everybody's looking for eternal bliss
You gotta do what they want you to do
Gonna kick some ass
in the human zoo

N-n-n-n-n-nineteen ninety seven
N-n-n-n-n-nineteen

Call me Snake, Snake, Snake
Call me Snake, Snake, Snake
Call me Snake

New York City's a cell
A prison from hell
Every motherfucker's got a tale to tell
You gotta do what a man's got to do
Gonna kick some ass, baby, in this zoo

N-n-n-n-n-nineteen ninety seven
N-n-n-n-n-nineteen ninety seven

Call me Snake, Snake, Snake
Call me Snake, Snake, Snake
Call me Snake
