Gin // Tonic - Magtens Korridorer

Han sidder der og sipper sin gin/tonic

Mens han venter på de første gæsters entré

Han ser udover rummet, guilander farvet lys

Og en scene med et klaver

Vader ind tæver og regnen siler ned

Og ølanlægget spinder som en drøm

Han brager ud på dansegulvet, standser

Og glor ud i den dyb sorte nat

Og han danser rundt på gravens rand

Skambidt halvt ihjel

Og han danser rundt på gravens rand

Skambidt halvt ihjel, ihjel af tidens tand, ihjel

Musikken spiller, stiller sig i baren

Kosmopolitans og iskold fadøl i glas

Nogen de forfører, andre lad sig føre hen i strobescob

Og insisterende vals

Vågner næste dag

Og solen skinder ubarmhjertigt

På hans alt fortærende tørst

Og vanviddet kæmper en uendelig duel

Med hans ensomhed om hvem der er størst

Og han danser rundt på gravens rand

Skambidt halvt ihjel

Og han danser rundt på gravens rand

Skambidt halvt ihjel, ihjel af tidens tand

Og han danser rundt på gravens rand

Skambidt halvt ihjel

Og han danser rundt på gravens rand

Skambidt halvt ihjel, ihjel af tidens tand, ihjel

He sits there sipping his gin / tonic

While waiting for the first guests' entrance

He looks beyond the room, guilander colored light

And a scene with a piano

Wads in bitches and the rain filters down

And the beer plant spins like a dream

He crashes out on the dance floor, stopping

And stare out into the deep black night

And he dances around the edge of the grave

Shamed half to death

And he dances around the edge of the grave

Shame bitten half dead, dead by the ravages of time, dead

The music plays, poses at the bar

Cosmopolitans and ice-cold draft beer in glass

Some they seduce, others let themselves be led into the strobescob

And insistent waltz

Waking up the next day

And the sun shines relentlessly

On his all consuming thirst

And the madness fights an endless duel

With his loneliness about who is greatest

And he dances around the edge of the grave

Shamed half to death

And he dances around the edge of the grave

Shamed half dead, dead by the ravages of time

And he dances around the edge of the grave

Shamed half to death

And he dances around the edge of the grave

Shame bitten half dead, dead by the ravages of time, dead
