Hotel Mira
Stockholm
There's no one around
Who knows me well
And at the protest downtown
The whole thing, peace sells
The way that sex sells

[Chorus]
I'm a love song
Playing backwards
I am kidnapped
But I love my captor
All this hardship
What comes after
Four black horses
And nervous laughter

There's nothing in me that you'll grow to like
But reach inside me and pull out what's nice
Have I been dead my whole life?

[Chorus]
I'm just a love song
Playing backwards
And I am kidnapped
But I love my captor
All this hardship
What comes after
Four black horses
And nervous laughter
And you say
They're better off without me

Oh Jesus Christ I'm
Trembling
I'm helpless again

And they say
That planet Earth
Is lonely

But less so when you
Hold me
Get out of your head

[Chorus]
I'm a love song
Playing backwards
And I am kidnapped
But I love my captor
All this hardship
Oh, baby, what comes after
Four black horses
And nervous laughter

I'm a love song
Playing backwards
Through blown-out speakers
To heartless bastards
