The Tragically Hip - One Night in Copenhagen lyrics

When the drugs hit you the tingling begins
Conviction plus tone equals hope
Under the threat of separation

The nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull suspended in air
The sound of the sea anywhere, anywhere

When the drugs quit you
As loyal as a fruit fly
You'll mutter to yourself
"You talentless fuck
Good fucking luck, good fucking luck"
A delicatessen
Shriek of a horn suspended in air
The sound of the town anywhere, anywhere

It quit's you in situ and here it begins
Quit's you at a payphone in the snow
One night in Copenhagen
One night in Copenhagen

And you know the nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
