The Night Is Long

[Verse 1]

I saw a movie a long time ago

The media were selling panic for dope

I never thought it would end up this way

In the United States of Europe but hey

I have to admit that I was wrong

‘Cause in the end it's a universal song

About the mighty rich and the poor

Separated by a lavishing door

[Chorus]

The night is long

Light is unfair

Only shining for those who don't care

[Verse 2]

I saw disturbing stuff on TV

Misery seems for free

Angels are looking the other way

While cruel devils have the tempting key

A key to success is a utopic dream

Cappuccino without the cream

Life's a mess that makes you long for more

While feeling totally ignored

[Chorus]

The night is long

Light is unfair

Only shining for those who don't care

The night is long

Headlights in the mist

Make it challenging to wish

[Verse 3]

A frightened voice on the radio

Talks about dilemmas and a lost cause

History repeating, we forget to learn

Every time we're missing a crucial turn

But still there's some energy left

It's not game set and match

The empire keeps the overall score

There's still some time to explode

[Chorus]

The night is long

The light is unfair

Only shining for those who don't care

The night is long

Headlights in the mist

Make it challenging to wish

[Outro]

I saw this movie a long time ago

The media were selling panic for dope

I saw this movie a long time ago

The media were selling panic for dope

I saw this movie a long time ago

The media were selling panic for dope

I saw this movie a long time ago

The media were selling panic for dope
