When I arrived in Leiden I'd survived to find I was finally getting older
They emptied out the canals during international wars and they filled them up with soldiers
the roosters that top church spires inspired their performance and
I don't know why they now are lying dormant until the morning
All the gulls that line shores of northern seas are trying to get to England and sometimes on the clearest days you can see right across the smoke from chimneys
the statues at Nordwiejke may seem quite progressive and
I don't know why to me they seem suggestive to some direction
For when you go to see a show in Utrecht the beer costs only duppies
the girl who's there she sings so effortlessly has a voice thats from the movies and every city block holds a band inside it and
I don't know why we never thought to try that
we just stayed quiet
To learn somehow what I know now could fill this town
Enlightened in Leiden
For when you walk with feet on top of cobblestones were laid from tiny islands
the spiral stairs of Pieterskerk go winding up and pull you into violence
like the slavery that constructed this building and
I don't know why today we feel like children who still are willing
To learn somehow what I know know could fill this town
Enlightened in Leiden

I used to dream I would be someone
Now all I want is to be a somebody
I got deep into the alcohol
started to feel like a cocaine cowboy and
how did we get so far away from the start well at least there is an ending
We don't have to fight my darling
you don't have to fear for me
I know that it don't feel right to sound off
I've moved on at least
You flew me down into Mexico
I never thought I could feel so sorry
we made love late every afternoon
that was your favourite time to get lucky
How do you feel about me know
I'll be in love with that girl until the day my life is ending
and how did we get so far away from the start well at least we see the ending

Prague

Prague, a drunken montage
writhing like Jack Kerouac piggy backing
we sleep beside girls that aren't very attractive
redeeming ourselves on the night that comes after
Prague, an ancient ideologue
with every absinthe my world's turning backwards
we feign ignorance cuz were arrogant bastards
running away from what were running after
Wind in my face as I cross the Charles bridge
Sun hits my lips to show me where shadows live
I brake every bottle they're containers for fantasy
thats Czech indifference mistaken for apathy
Prague, a corrupted visage
relieving ourselves on the morning hereafter
in spite of the present the world spins faster
were running away what are we chasing after
