Alphaville - Heartbreak City

Heartbreak
Heartbreak City
Heartbreak
Heartbreak City
Strange is the night

Catch the next train
from self-pity
It takes you straight
to Heartbreak City
Don’t have to ask
for a first class ticket
Because it’s free for those
who deserve the visit

Take a walk on lonely street now
Don’t you stop,
don’t you shuffle your feet now
Never look back
to where you came from
Nothing there but
a goblin maelstrom
You’re goin’ to…

Heartbreak City,
you can’t let go
The fools in love, the too much
and the not enough
Heartbreak City,
strange is the night
Where black stars rise
with strange moons in the skies

Days obscured
by silent sorrow
I hope to hell
it’s better tomorrow
Fools are nailed
at the glowing skyline
Burning angels make,
ooh, the night shine

One last chance now
and you’ve had many
Oh, they all,
they just passed you by
Hold on tight now,
the train is moving
Another day,
another goodbye
Say hello to…

Heartbreak City,
you can’t let go
The fools in love, the too much
and the not enough
Heartbreak City,
a creeping sorrow
A pallid dolly, ten courts
to hell and a dead man’s folly

Heartbreak, you can't let go
The fools in love
Heartbreak, strange is the night
Where black stars rise
Heartbreak, a pallid dolly
A dead man's folly
Heartbreak, it don’t heal clean
The fools in love
(the too much and the not enough)

Heartbreak City,
it don’t heal clean
The fools in love, the too much
and the not enough
Heartbreak City,
strange is the night
Where black stars rise
with strange moons in the skies

Heartbreak City,
the king in yellow
The falling rain,
they won’t help to ease your pain
(Strange is the night)

Catch the next train
from self-pity
It takes you straight
to Heartbreak City
