well the desk porter laughed
news of our legend and our exploits
travelled car
from bell-hop to hired car
all this and more
modern history
on the third floor

so is this where he died
spend your life cutting words up
with a knife
i light a candle for each night
you wate away your life

well they´re never gonna forget us
we´re the most famous
people that they know
went to a party
i didn´t say a word
you don´t know how lucky you were
you don´t know how lucky you are

so we set fire to your room
and we bandaged up your
hands and arms - now
where´s your beauty gone
