lyrics

In a land beyond forests, in a land of haunted souls
in a land where the sun never shines I looked for you
in a land of wet dreams, in a land of nightmares
in a land of a thousand nightclubs I looked for you

I drank my heart out, I blew my mind away, I fell asleep on stranger's floors
I met a lot of friends along the way, owls, bats, wolves, foxes and nightingales
and I kept on with a fire inside, inside it´s all inside

and just to see your smile it would make it all worthwile
but how far can I go,how far can I go and will I be the last to know?

I was told that your kiss can kill a man, that your kiss can make the dead ones rise again
I was told that your wings would give me wings to fly above the world and float around

I soon found out that your castle was upon the steepest hill and the rocky path was not to be trusted
so I stayed down blowing my mind away with a fire burning inside, inside, inside, it's all inside

and just to see your smile it could make it all worthwile
but how far can I go, how far can I go, and will I be the last to know?

I´m stuck suspended in Transylvania

and when I realised I hadn't seen the sun for years I knew something was wrong
I knew something was wrong, Goddamn, I was the last to know!

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
