Nico Album

Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside
A roof above my head might just be right
For such a tender night

Give awareness and some light
To the darkness outside
A roof above my head might just be right
For such a tender night tender night

The bridge will show you how to fall
More than one good person you can call

Stepping on the stairway
Climbing up the wall
Has the man I told you about
Stopped in here or called ?

Stepping on the stairway
Climbing up the wall
Has the man I told you about
Stopped in here or called ?

Was it the right moment to lift his head
And did he see that you are mad

Seven daughters and one son
And their father's on the run
He is gone long past midnight
From the Towers strikes the time.

What will they do when morning dawns
They may not be able to explain

Are you ready for a good fight
Are you ready for laughter
It is you that we are after
It is you

You can give me one more chance
Forget that it is me who must fight

The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat

A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending

The hours since I saw you last
Have left me in an unknown past
They do not seem to leave me
They seem to join me on the road
Or even when I take a boat

A light
Insanely bright is standing
A fainting force
My loneliness remains attending

[No lyrics]

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

On your padded shoulder
And your golden chest
In a wilderness of glass we rest

And all the flowers they are our words
And my chances follow dances
Into a storm afraid

A sweet and bitter rest he gets
A sweet and bitter rest he gets

I have come to lie with you
I have come to die with you

I
I will be King
And you
You will be Queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
Just for one day

You
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes, we're lovers
And that is that

Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be heroes
For ever and ever
What d'you say?

I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
the dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Nothing will keep us together
We can beat them
Forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes
Just for one day

I
I will be King
And you
You will be Queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day

I
I can remember
Standing by the Wall
The guns shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
We can beat them
Forever and ever
We can be heroes
Just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes

White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank
And you will see a lady standing
Stealing past a happy ending
Staring at the happy landing

Her heart beats loud and fast
Her love looks like a broken glass

White light lays above
The riverbank
A sinking ship has brought the light
Upon the land
And Henry Hudson knows not where
The lady's standing

A lonely shoulder must grow older
Waiting on the riverbank

[No lyrics]

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor

Close the flight
Prepare your sight
As if you'd never
Seen the light

Understand
The fortune spent
This crazy crime
Has no regret

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor

Orly flight
Madrid tonight
Close the door
On the last floor

Close the flight
Prepare your sight
As if you'd never
Seen the light

Understand
The fortune spent
Conceal your pain
Conceal your pride

The road that leads you to Vegas
Remains so free
Where men have lost a perfect set
Within so much regret
The turning wheel on every table
Have they told you yet
A formula, a winning scheme
More than you can dream

In a case of crime
In a case of death
Would you have to hold
Have to hold your breath ?
The charges of your sentence
An answer to your key
A switching argument
Condemning
Your damned
To plea

From the black screen of my eyelids
Closing in on you
The image showing me that
It is oh so true
The young man with a wild smile
Like Bonaparte
He's looking like a piece of
Like a piece of art

In a case of crime
In a case of death
Would you have to hold
Have to hold your breath ?
The charges of your sentence
An answer to your key
A switching argument
Condemning
Your damned
To plea

Baby don't you holler, darling don't you ball and shout

Baby don't you holler, darling don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good and I'm going to work it all out

Baby don't you holler, darling don't you ball and shout
I'm feeling good and I'm going to work it all out
I'm feeling good and I'm feeling so fine
Until tomorrow that is just another time
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
I'm waiting for my man
