there was moonlight and laughter
that danced on the sands
and bloodstained pianos
are played without hands

such a promising music
sweet whispers and dreams
from a travelling window,
the salesman who screamed.

moonlight, saturday night
it´s now or never
oh play stormy weather,
for me, for me.

i lived in the flower shop
called "love is so sweet!"
and i get all my kicks
from the customers´ feet.

well, i´m just a stranger,
none stranger than i.
my head in the quicksand
my feet in the sky.

i was carefully crazy
when playing the game.
´cause business is business
and i´m not to blame.

climb on my back
it´s a wet afternoon;
a bottle of booze,
a bit of a tune to sing;
goodbye, everything;
goodbye, everything....
