Lyrics

Philadelphia (T.L.A.)

[Chorus]

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

[Verse 1]

First we take art that is dead

And bring it to life with electric shocks

Its power must then be contained in a cage

Its beauty must then be placed on a stage

[Chorus]

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

[Verse 2]

Where did the passion go?

How did we become so alone?

I look in the mirror, no one there

Wherever you sit, an empty chair

[Chorus]

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spell "T.L.A."?

How do you spеll "T.L.A."?

[Outro]

Dankeschön
