"Dear Hamburg" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

THE WOMBATS
"Dear Hamburg"
(Dan Haggis / Matthew Murphy / Tord Overland-Knudsen)

I tried to read Bram Stoker
As I waited for the plane to land
But instead, I pondered my fate
As of the end of this glass
It's just whenever I'm here
The first thing that I will usually drink is the plan
I know there's something wrong deep inside
I can almost feel the blazing red of her eyes

[Pre-Chorus:]
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight

[Chorus:]
Dear Hamburg
What are you gonna do to me?
Dear Hamburg
Don't strip me of my dignity

The hotel knew that we would never sleep
So it just swallowed our bags
I took a 50 Euro note
And six Winstons in the palm of my hand
This time, let's hit the main track
And steer from trouble just as far as we can
But as the dribble rolls down my chin
I feel her seething lust burn deep within

[Chorus:]
Dear Hamburg
Just look at what you've done to me
My dear Hamburg
You've stripped me of my dignity
Dear Hamburg
You've made a monster out of me
Dear Hamburg
I'm requesting back my dignity

[Pre-Chorus:]
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
And I'll wear a smile as she starts draining me of life
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
And I'll wear a smile as she starts draining me of
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
And I'll wear a smile as she starts draining me of life
She's gonna try and suck my blood tonight
And I'll wear a smile as she starts draining me of life
She's draining me of life, she's draining me of life

[Chorus:]
My dear Hamburg
Just look at what you've done to me
My sweet Hamburg
I'm requesting back my dignity
I'm requesting back my dignity
