Alphaville Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Alphaville) She slits her senseless skin
(Alphaville) In time to Fred Astaire
(Alphaville) I know you're always there

[Chorus 1]
Don't look now...
She's so debonair, she's a manic depressive
Don't look now...
She's a millionaire and my bills are excessive

[Verse 2]
(Alphaville) She feels her senses wane
(Alphaville) In pleasant melody
(Alphaville) I'll take you now with me

[Chorus 2]
Don't look now...
She's a movie star, she's a split personality
Don't look now...
She's got oom-pah-pah and Papa said it's insanity

[Bridge]
Don't run now, your mind's deteriorating
Don't look now, and if it's irritating
I'll know how to set it right again
Don't look now, your head's collapsing, dear
So don't look now, and if it's taxing, dear
I'll know how to put it back again
[Verse 3]
(Alphaville) She sleeps in useless flesh
(Alphaville) The rancid, blood-soaked breast
(Alphaville) In sunlight and slow death

[Chorus 3]
Don't look now...
She's a movie star, she's a little bit touched
Don't look now...
She's so wünderbar, all gears and no clutch

[Outro]
Don't look now

How to Format Lyrics:
