Sanssouci
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?The boys that made me lose the blues tonight,And then my eyesightAll together, playing games of cardsGambling the tiny shards of brass,Once my heart
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?I'm lookin' through the window from the gardenWaitin' for the call to my hotel roomI'm tired of writing elegies to boredomI just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?Surely not the one that loves me truly, onlyHe's probably down at the stables, thereGently polishing my cabriolet, onlyI don't care, I really want to go
So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroomCallin' up some dude from my hotel roomI'm tired of writing elegies in generalI just want to be at Sanssouci tonightTonight, tonight...
The candles seem to all have been blown outCupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's aboutCould it be I came to the wrong place?But I swear I saw them climb the stairs,That sweet mysteryWho will be at Sanssouci tonight?
It's only when you're outside that you noticeOnly from the window you can see themOnce the door is open, all will vanishAin't nobody at Sanssouci tonightTonight, tonight
