lyrics

Shooting up on the edge of my bed
and I’ll keep going til the inside of my head
feels like Vienna on a new year’s eve
and I’ve washed away all this regret

Could I unlive these past few unliveable years,
could I erase the Nanas I’ve been
and the lucky Pierres,
I was passed around by filthy hands
not unlike currency,
traded ass for cigarettes, whored my way to luxury

Her face turned into a tapestry of rain
I reached out to touch her and the ripples spelled
out her name

Should have never turned my back on you
Now I need opiates and lube just to see me through
I’m tortured and toyed with night and day
Guess it’s my punishment for treating you that way

They dress me in colored rags just like a doll
They forcefeed me used tampons
drenched with alcohol
They violate me with rubber contraptions
just to laugh at my reactions

Her face turned into a tapestry of rain...

about

Strangers On A Train Copenhagen, Denmark

Cabaret, sea shantys, polka, vaudeville and echoes of tango all meet up when Strangers On A Train take the stage. It is music that unfolds after dark and will take you on a ride through the dark side of life with songs about lust, temptation, fornication, covert beauty and drunken suffering.

We promise you loads of harmonica, music for your dancing shoes and stories from the unknown taverns.
