Vienna Song

Jazz Butcher


I'm staying here, right where I am 
Don't care if I don't get to Amsterdam 
I finally made it, got down here at last 
Cut out my future, and poisoned my past 
And there's nowhere left to go 
In a life of no returns 
And every passing show 
Is another bridge that I can't avoid burning 
I could go back to Bregenz 
( a town in the Vorarlberg, Austria ) 
And Brandt would be waiting 
With a shot of penicillin and a gun 
Yeah it's just like those songs that I never believed 
About living your life on the run 
And, somebody told me on a Sunday night 
That the English boys never get things right 
So I'm giving up, I'm sitting down 
In this home of the waltz, in this European town 
I no longer care if what you told me was true 
But we all make decisions we must all follow through 
And in this dark there's just one northern light 
And I'm fooling myself 'cause it's just not right 
And oh... 

Oh, darling, Stockholm feels such a long long way away... (x4)
