The Tragically Hip
One Night in Copenhagen
When the drugs hit you
The tingling begins
Conviction plus tone equals hope
Under the threat of separation
The nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull suspended in air
The sound of the sea
Anywhere, anywhere
When the drugs quit you
As loyal as a fruit fly you'll mutter to yourself
"You talentless fuck
Good fucking luck, good fucking luck"
A delicatessen
Shriek of a horn suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere, anywhere
It quits you in situ
And here it begins
Quits you at a payphone
In the snow
One night in Copenhagen
One night in Copenhagen
And you know the nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
