And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an online place, the only time I feel safe
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unknown place the only time I feel safe
And breathe silence in the skies
And bring silence in disguise
And the song plays on the player
And the sun shines on the bay
And the sun shines on today
And the sun shines on the Bay
Giving me away, marry me, marry me
Giving me away, carry me, carry me
I wanna be back in my city.
I wanna be there in my city.
I wanna be bad in my city.
I wanna be there in my city.
I want to get back to my city: Battle Bay
I want to get back to my city by the bay.
Illuminate me carry me away, marry me, marry me
Illuminate me giving me away, carry me, carry me
Steckt im A....
Strike the match
The misheard line means "Is in the 'A'" in German
That's why I'm opium
That's why I hold you
The lights shine clear through the Soviet heights
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
Well my friends, I'm only two
Well my friends are lonely too
Well, my friends are only 2
Well, my friends are lonely, too
When the lights go down in the century
When the lights go down in the city
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bed.
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay.
When the lights go down in the setting
When the lights go down in the city
When the rights go down in the CD
When the lights go down in the city

Won't you let me fade
Won't you let me play
You see the parade it won't last
You seem afraid it won't last
You shag me when I'm alone
You shine me when I'm alone
You shart me when I’m alone
You shine it when I’m alone
‘Cause they’re calling, calling, calling MePhone;
Calling, calling, calling home
‘Cause they’re calling, calling, calling me home;
Calling, calling, calling home
A full moon, is moon enough
To get me all the way across they bay.
Half a moon, is moon enough
To get me all the way across the bay.
A full moon, is moon enough
To get me all the way across the bay.
Half-a-moon, is moon enough
To get me all the way across the bay.
