Prague ( /ˈprɑːɡ/; Czech: Praha pronounced [ˈpraɦa] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic and fourteenth largest city in European Union. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of nearly 2.0 million. The city has a temperate oceanic climate with warm summers and chilly winters.
Prague has been a political, cultural, and economic centre of central Europe with waxing and waning fortunes during its 1,100 year existence. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus then also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire and after World War I became the capital of Czechoslovakia. The city played major roles in the Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and in modern history generally as the principal conurbation in Bohemia and Moravia whose second city is Brno.

Hyperviolence is an attitude
It breaks my heart
to leave you far behind
it breaks me up
to leave so suddenly
knowing we might never
meet again
It hurts so much
to lose another friend
I could hope you're just as sad
to see me go
but I'd hate to be the cause
of grief to someone I like so
Knowing we might never
meet again
It hurts so much
I pack my suit in a bag
I'm all dressed up for Prague
I'm all dressed up with you
All dressed up for him too
Prepare myself for a war
Before I even open up my door
Before I even look out
I'm pissing all of my bullets about
Wrap myself in a bag
I'm all wrapped up in Prague
I'm all wrapped up in you
I'm all wrapped up in him too
Prepare myself for a war
And I don't know what I'm doing this for
Trying to let it all go
But how can I when you still don't know?
I could wait for you
Like that hole in your boot
Waiting to be fixed
I could wait for you
What good would that do
But to leave me pricked?
Cheers, darlin'
Here's to you and your lover
Darling, I got years
Pack my suit in a bag
Pack myself in a bag
Pack my suit in a bag
All dressed up for Prague
Pack my suit in a bag
All dressed up for
All dressed up for
