When the drugs hit you
The tingling begins
Conviction plus tone equals hope
Under the threat of separation

The nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull suspended in air
The sound of the sea
Anywhere, anywhere

When the drugs quit you
As loyal as a fruit fly you'll mutter to yourself
"You talentless fuck
Good fucking luck, good fucking luck"

A delicatessen
Shriek of a horn suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere, anywhere

It quits you in situ
And here it begins
Quits you at a payphone
In the snow
One night in Copenhagen
One night in Copenhagen
And you know the nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
