Light the candle, taste the wineBeirut by night
From a 3-star hotel room

And I’m drowning in a city
That looks like a skeleton at night
And I’m drowning in a city
That looks like a skeleton at night

Beirut by night
Not a living soul around
Beirut by night
You won’t find a tourist guide
Beirut by night
Hear the Stalin organ play
Beirut by night
Such a violent melody

And I’m drowning in a city
That looks like a skeleton at night
And I’m drowning in a city
That looks like a skeleton at night
