Cellophane Eyes

Briskeby

we were laughing like lizards at a practical joke


cause the cigarettes didn't taste like the brand we used to smoke


and the city shone bright like never before





you were Lou Marini, I picked Suzie Q


you said I had no style, but I could borrow some from for you


and the night was a star-lit stage


and the crowd screamed for more, forgiven for sure





let's imitate life like a tv-star





so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes


so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lifes





we were sattillite dancers and go-go girls


the street was a river of indian pearls


I waved to the moon, smiling from the sleepy sky, to our sleepy high





if you break both legs, then still you would run


elope from the morning and hide from the sun


if this ever comes to and end, I would surely cry


I would lay down and die





let's imitate life like a tv-star





so strange at night, I got lost in your cellophane eyes


so strange at night, this is a song for our wasted lifes
