Stewardess, Empress, Hot Mess (and the Captain of Pain) Songtext
von The Night Flight Orchestra

As I write these words, I am up in the skies above
I am out of control and I just don′t know how to love
I have tried many times, but my youth just seems to catch up with me
From a loving father who meant so well but shut down my dreams
He keeps on coming around

But you, your spirit came out of the blue
Oh you, my fate was as good as new

We could be a dream, we could be a sanctuary
For everlasting love, for complicated symphonies

Tell me you can see it through
The damage I did to you
Captain of pain is here for you, too
For you

I remember the smell in the air when our paths once crossed
Verona, Catullo in a split of a second I'd lost
It was the sky in your eyes that just suddenly made me believe I′d win
Over a turbulent past and the clouded self-image I'd carried within


You keep on coming around
You, your spirit came out of the blue
Oh you, my fate was as good as new
Oh you, something Zürich or Seoul couldn't do

We could be a dream, we could be a sanctuary
An everlasting love, a complicated symphony
Listen to my self-inflicted blues
There is nothing I can do to get to you
I have traveled far and wide you know
Seen your face a thousand times

Tell me you can see it through
The damage I did to you
Captain of pain is here for you, too

Nothing was sacred until I saw you
A ghost of the seasons, a shadow of truth
Out of the silence, I′m under a spell
You are the reason I constantly dwell, dwell, dwell

Tell me you can see it through
Our sunrise was coming anew
Every delusion, every move
Every move, every move, every move, every move, every move


As I write these words, I am up in the skies above
I am out of control and I just don′t know how to love
You keep on coming around
