Tonight 

Strung out 

Like a hazy web of lights      

Until the dawn 

And the rain 

Is falling all along 

The Rieperbahn 

And you're gone  Ain't it strange 

It seems like no one 

Touches you these days 

Must be unclean 

And their words 

Are haunting you 

Like shadows veiled in steam 

Neverending...  

 

And she shimmers from the sky like a million golden opportunities 

All scattered on the ground and floating in the gutters of your memory 

She's written on the overpass and her broken promise sleeps besides the factory 

She's ugly in the dawn and her dress flies on the fence below the refinery 

Refinery 

 

In the air 

Anonymous 

And floating in your chair 

You rewrite the story 

What's your name? 

And you tell them who you are  

And why you came 

And they believe you..  

Thinking back on nights 

When you were just a broken doll 

Behind the window 

And you know 

That no matter which way 

You decide to go 

You're never going back there.. 

   

 

And she shimmers from the sky like a million golden opportunities 

All scattered on the ground and floating in the gutters of your memory 

She's written on the overpass and her broken promise sleeps besides the factory 

She's ugly in the dawn and her dress flies on the fence below the refinery
