Alphaville

Cosmopolitician

Alphaville


sleep between the gates of night, in a no man's land 
always closer than you think, a kind of your best friend 
i have no religion and i have no flag 
i don't care if you're wrong or right 
lilac skinned or black 
i'm a cosmopolitician 
closer than your next of kin 
angel, devil of the night 
and the seed of everything 
and if your world has turned to ashes 
i will leave you never 
even when the sun's blown out, i will shine forever 
i caress you with my charms 
i'm your best friend, the dream 
i'm the light that guides you through the nights 
and deepest haze 
i'm a cosmopolitician... 
you need a friend without a doubt 
i wonder why you came around 
are you awake or do you dream 
you're stuck inside a frozen scene 
you try to move but there's no moves 
you try to speak but there's no use 
you try to wake but you can't 
you close your eyes without a chance 
you need a friend without a doubt 
i wonder why you came around
