Reeperbahn

I ain’t interested in the whores tonight
They’ll go about their business and I’ll go about mine
Mine is standing on the balcony
On the 4th floor above the Reeperbahn
Where the Beatles used to play
But I won’t get all soppy and nostalgic,
‘Cause It’s all right
The moon is full
And it’s all right
And I don’t care about anything at all
Tonight

Maybe I will take a walk and look at girls
Sometimes it amazes me that all of them have breasts
Some places they hide them, some they show them off
But it’s all right I like it either way
It’s a world-class distraction
You either get it or you don’t
And it’s all right
It’s all right
And I don’t care ’bout anything at all
Tonight

And I don’t give a damn
The world could end tonight
Aliens could just start dropping bombs
Then the people of the Earth
Would love one another
For a couple days and then good-bye

So tonight I’ll spare the prostitutes my body
And my money clip I’ll keep my hard-earned money
The moon’s behind a cloud
The drunks below are loud
I flick my ash it falls 4 floors down on the Reeperbahn
Where the Beatles used to play
But that was a long time ago and anyway
It’s all right
I probably won’t jump
It’s all right
And I don’t care ’bout anything at all
Tonight
