lyrics

A Special Place in Hell (Byrne)

A heart of darkness moving in, as the harbor lights grow dim again,
The sun is shining through the rainstorm as we wander hand in hand,
There’s a faint smell of the sea, makes us feel we’re anywhere we need to be,
But just an hour by highway the real world is waiting patiently

Chorus
And there’s a special place in hell for you and me,
There’s a special place in hell where we can be,
Hopelessly, in love,
Hopelessly, in love,

Fingers holding loosely on to one another, Newspaper bundles taking flight,
But this shambles of a man that you’re in love with loves you right.
And there is nothing like Manhattan’s early morning, when sin is safely underground,
We feel as tall as any building that surrounds us, and just as proud.

Repeat Chorus

A perfect parking space on 34th and Broadway, the last port in a storm,
Only an hour before a meter maid comes knocking at our door.

Chorus x 2
