lyrics

CHEMICAL ROMANCE

william s burroughs had very thin lips
and so has irm hermann the german actress
both of them got that mysterious smile
a little dangerous kind of sarcastic
you can easily put them in the back of any scenery
you would always look at them always look at them
a perfect tie and an iron blouse
you would always look at them always look at them

and if a had a chance
i would love to see them dance
close but without touching eachother
in a chemical romance

the music should be slow
and the singer would sing oh
if there is no time
if there's only space
which place do you wanna go

william s burroughs was a gentleman-beatnik
irm hermann was part of the fassbinder-gang
she grew up in a black and white post-war munich
while burroughs ate drugs on a terrasse in tanger
there is little connection but what do i know
maybe they met and they lifted their eyebrows

and if a had a chance
i would love to see them dance
close but without touching eachother
in a chemical romance

the music should be slow
and the singer would sing oh
if there is no time
if there's only space
which place do you wanna go

With surprising twists in structure and sparse instrumentation they combine simple folk- and glamorous pop-elements and create a very unique atmosphere. ... more
