Nachtbus 5AM - The Blood Arm

I’m reading Céline at the end of a dream

I don’t even like his stuff

Making my way with the fleas and the strays

On the 5AM Nachtbus

A guy seizing up, a woman in tears

The driver hands me a beer

I listen to jeers I don’t understand

Just watching the city go by

Too late to go out, too early to stop

I like the alcoholic bars

The drunks and the pervs will inherit the earth

While the junkies are walking their dogs

There’s a rosary chain of brunette girls

Searching for pearls and for swine

Focus hard enough on the burning streets

You’re bound to have a good time

I feel evil

I feel lust

I feel there’s nobody

That I can trust

End of the line, I’m in no rush

It’s 5AM on the Nachtbus

Thinking of girls, so many girls

I’m always a little confused

There’s one with a terrible laugh

And there’s that one with too many tattoos

There’s one who’s always mad at her dad

And I think I love her the best

I’m too old and she’s too young

But she always answers my texts

I feel evil

I feel lust

I feel there’s nobody

That I can trust

End of the line, I’m in no rush

It’s 5AM on the Nachtbus

I’m eating sorbet with Kurt Cobain

Discussing the pitfalls of fame

They’ll make you a king before they blow you away

Cuz death is the name of the game

So it’s ticket to ride if you wanna die

Kurt, you know I don’t like to pay

Take my advice, take in the sights

Before they drag you away

Before they drag you away

Before they drag you a.
