I can feel it in the air

I can feel it young and strong

Like an intoxicating dare

Simple pleasures and delights

It’s all what you create
C Gm
Your shadows will be played
And here now comes the sweet caress
Unreality to guide us
With a forceful righteousness

And you can taste the kiss of death
More divine than breath I know
Always just the right address
Just the right caress
Mark my words
It’s not quite what you thought

А pretty royal flush

Of second hand fame
For proof of excellence

Sex in a suit, hello, happy birthday
