Sexyland - Alphaville

Follow me way back in time to my post war phantom empire

Freezing and homeless in the cold winter night

Hanging out in a tubeway station with no place to go

Full of dreams and illusions, waiting for the end of night

Then I saw your face all over the place

A porn-supermarket ad, a strange attractor

A moment I will never ever forget

How could I know this was my flight to Venus

When I bought my underground ticket

That night I waved good-bye to life

With the international narcotics kings and their wifes

In simmering anticipation…

She looked like the queen of babylon, a girl of the underworld

Soft skin on black silk, bathed in cold neon light

An icon at the wall of a cathedral, a b-girl rhapsody

A date with desaster between the devil &the deep blue

Forbidden paradise when worlds collide

In this city by night I was on a most fantastic journey

How could I know this was my flight to Venus

When I bought my underground ticket

That night I waved good-bye to life

With the international narcotics kings and their wifes

In simmering anticipation…

It’s a glittering secret, a magic spell

The pale girls they know but they never will tell

And I wished we were movie stars, just you and me

And Saturday night, Saturday night became eternity

How could I know this was my flight…

How could I know this was my flight…

How could I know this was my flight…

How could I know this was my flight to Venus

When I bought my underground ticket

That night I waved good-bye to life

With the international narcotics kings and their wifes

In simmering anticipation…
