Follow me way back in time to my post war phantom empire
Freezing and homeless in the cold winter night
Hanging out in a tubeway station with no place to go
Full of dreams and illusions, waiting for the end of night
Then I saw your face all over the place
A porn-supermarket ad, a strange attractor
A moment I will never ever forget
How could I know this was my flight to Venus
When I bought my underground ticket
That night I waved good-bye to life
With the international narcotics kings and their wifes
In simmering anticipation...
She looked like the queen of babylon, a girl of the underworld
Soft skin on black silk, bathed in cold neon light
An icon at the wall of a cathedral, a b-girl rhapsody
A date with desaster between the devil & the deep blue
Forbidden paradise when worlds collide
In this city by night I was on a most fantastic journey
How could I know this was my flight to Venus
When I bought my underground ticket
That night I waved good-bye to life
With the international narcotics kings and their wifes
In simmering anticipation...
It's a glittering secret, a magic spell
The pale girls they know but they never will tell
And I wished we were movie stars, just you and me
And Saturday night, Saturday night became eternity
How could I know this was my flight...
How could I know this was my flight...
How could I know this was my flight...
How could I know this was my flight to Venus
When I bought my underground ticket
That night I waved good-bye to life
With the international narcotics kings and their wifes
In simmering anticipation...

Alphaville è un gruppo musicale tedesco di musica synth-pop formatosi nel 1983 da Marian Gold (voce), Bernhard Lloyd (tastiere) e Frank Mertens (basso). Il loro successo internazionale arrivò a metà degli anni '80 con singoli come "Big in Japan" e "Forever Young", che li consacrarono tra le band più popolari del genere new wave. Alphaville ha pubblicato oltre 20 album, continuando ad essere attivo fino ai giorni nostri con tour e nuovi progetti discografici. Nel 2006 hanno riscosso un nuovo successo grazie alla cover di "Forever Young" realizzata dal gruppo australiano Youth Group per la serie televisiva The O.C., che ha contribuito a riportare l'attenzione su Alphaville.
