I arrived in the city of lights
Enchanted ballrooms where I lost my life
I've closed my eyes
On your fairground smile
Seedy heroes and silver tills
Sinking suns on a sea of thrills
I place my bets
Trading with strangers in silhouette
I drink your health, son of the earth
Passing ships in the modern death
We're all still fired
Old emotions still burn inside
On solid ground, round the mother tongue
A tower of hope, a joyful sound
You take your time
A hand of aces in a pack of lies
I found my song and I started to sing
Took me away on an olden wing
So far from home
Standing so lonely but not alone
In this empire of ache and rhyme
Lovers and best friends are running blind
I grasp your hand
Is this the only world I understand
There's a sadness
There's a joy
There's a place
There's a song that will never die

He had fun experience
Nothing he does ever makes sense
He is only curious
Don't take it serious
(So tough)
You can't take anymore now you're getting weak
(So tough)
Don't start playing hide and seek
(So hard)
Why do you think he got like that?
(So hard)
Don't think about it much 'cause it's just a rut
You had fun on experience
Nothing he does ever makes sense
He is only curious
Don't take it serious
(So strong)
They say you're acting like a star
(So strong)
They say not every thing's wonder bar
(Too long)
You want money, girls urgently
(Too long)
Too much, too soon you wait and see
(Too much)
You hang around her 'cause she's a good mate
(Too much)
Milkshakes and cherry cheesecake
(Too fast)
They want to stop you having kicks
(Slow down)
Don't fuck things up by getting sick again
You had fun on experience
Nothing he does ever makes sense
He is only curious
Don't take it serious
(So tough)
You can't take anymore, now you're getting weak
(So tough)
Don't start playing hide and seek
(So hard)
Why do you think he got like that?
(So hard)v
Don't think about it much 'cause it's just a rut
You had fun experience
Nothing he does ever makes sense
He is only curious
Don't take it serious
(So tough)
You can't take anymore, now you're getting weak
(So tough)
You can't take anymore, now you're getting weak
(So tough)
Don't take it serious
Don't take it serious

California has been warmer,
while these hills are white with snow,
I am wondering where to go.
Passing headlights burn like spotlights,
and I am famous for the moment,
but they'll never know my name.
When will I know,
when will I know,
If my path it ain't so straight,
and if my luck it ain't so great.
When will I know,
when will I know,
If this season's gonna change,
or if I'm frozen in my place.
City of lights, city of dreams,
City of the famous so and so's...
on a low lit silver screen.
Whatever I was, before I came,
I am older, I am wiser now,
but a lot just hasn't changed.
And when will I know,
How can I tell,
will I see it in your eyes,
if there's things that I can't hide.
How far will I go,
how far will I go,
Spending weekends on the road,
while you're waiting there at home.
Just to sing out our songs,
to an audience of you,
Is better than crowds to shout my name,
it's better than all my fame.
Still when will I know,
how can I tell,
If I've run a losing race,
if there's facts that I must face,
And when will I know,
when will I know,
If I'm chasing honest dreams,

Sometimes we wander,
we struggle and we get fucked up by love...
Of all feelings a man can feel,
is the one that makes us come alive,
but also at times it might break us into pieces,
BREAK US INTO PIECES!
We wanted to find something to fight for,
in the city of lights.
Together we found a meaning to die for,
our own paradise...
Right there destiny hit me, in the city of lights.
It was that place we found together, by mistake...
As this key closes our lock, as this key drops to the
water.
It seals our love, it seals our bond, we will never be
torn apart!
TORN APART!
Have you ever felt so alive...??! [4x]
Sometimes we wander,
we struggle and we get fucked up by love...
Together we make our stand and we have no fear.
We don't give a fuck about the world,
we have found our own paradise,
OUR OWN PARADISE!
We wanted to find something to fight for,
in the city of lights.
Together we found a meaning to die for,
our own paradise...
Right there destiny hit me, in the city of lights.
It was that place we found together, by mistake...
As this key closes our lock, as this key drops to the
water.
It seals our love, it seals our bond, we will never be
torn apart!
