Susanne Sundfør - The Brothel lyrics

Purple pavements crooked fingers knocking on
Windows without souls
Bodies are swinging from rooftops and poles
Howling through hollows
Restless nights and one night cheap hotels
Oh, am I only drifting to always come back?

And I search for something
Oh, whatever I don’t really care
Driving with their lights off
They can be anywhere
Rolling down their windows
Open car with open mouths
Golden teeth and golden cards

You cover your eyes you cover your mouth
You cover your ears
Still you follow my trail
I’ll do it all, I’ll do whatever you say
God has left me anyway

Lava laiden pavements
Stars with stains and the
Heaven and afterglow
Beneath the ashes are echoes buried alive
They are howling through hollows
Once we shared their temple of halls
Now our heads are hung up on walls

We are ruins within ruins
On every corner a gladiator is
Begging for another century
When no one cut your tongue to know
Nothing and to know it all
To be both the animal and god

You cover your eyes you cover your mouth
You cover your ears
Still you follow our trail
We’ll do it all, we’ll do whatever you say
God has left us anyway you cover your eyes
You cover your mouth you cover your ears
Still you follow our trail
We’ll do it all, we’ll do whatever you say
God has left us anyway

There are echoes in the
Garden is anybody listening
There are echoes lost in the
Garden is anybody listening they whisper:
The ones who are only living are
The ones who are only dying
