Cosmopolitician - Alphaville

I sleep between the gates of night, in a no man’s land

Always closer than you think, a kind of your best friend

I have no religion and I have no flag

I don’t care if you’re wrong or right

Lilac skinned or black

I’m a cosmopolitician

Closer than your next of kin

Angel, devil of the night

And the seed of everything

And if your world has turned to ashes

I will leave you never

Even when the sun’s blown out, I will shine forever

I caress you with my charms

I’m your best friend, the dream

I’m the light that guides you through the nights

And deepest haze

I’m a cosmopolitician…

You need a friend without a doubt

I wonder why you came around

Are you awake or do you dream

You’re stuck inside a frozen scene

You try to move but there’s no moves

You try to speak but there’s no use

You try to wake but you can’t

You close your eyes without a chance

You need a friend without a doubt

I wonder why you came around.
