The Night Is Long Songtext
von Hooverphonic

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

The night is long
Light is unfair
Only shining for those who don′t care

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


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

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

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


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
