1998 Songtext
von The Night Flight Orchestra

I′m leaving New York City
In the early morning rain
There goes one more lady
That I'll never see again
But my bottle′s not empty
Bowie's on the stereo
Tonight we all go crazy
And that's all I need to know

All the places I get caught in
All the places, I arrived
Every time I spread my black wings
With an angel by my side
Here′s to every one I loved in
All the nights we stayed awake
Here′s to bridges I am burning
To the dream, I've sealed my fate
Nineteen-ninety-eight


Down an East coast highway
On the road that never ends
I always did it my way
And I′d do it all again
We've been drinkin′ and talkin'
′Bout this journey that we're on
Tonight we all go crazy
And tomorrow we'll be gone

All the places I get caught in
All the places, I arrived
Every time I spread my black wings
With an angel by my side
Here′s to every one I loved in
All the nights we stayed awake
Here′s to bridges I am burning
To the dream, I've sealed my fate
Nineteen-ninety-eight

And every thing will be alright
When I just put those things aside
I′m breathing fire, breathing smoke
I turn to blow, I stand alone

-Solo-


All the places I get caught in
All the places, I arrived
Every time I spread my black wings
With an angel by my side
Here's to every one I love in
All the nights we stayed awake
Here′s to bridges I am burning
To the dream, I've sealed my fate
Nineteen-ninety-eight
Nineteen-ninety-eight
Nineteen-ninety-eight
