Lyrics
Nina Persson:
Anybody tell you that there is no resale value
When your romance goes to hell
You better say farewell to what you thought was wealth
Nikolai Dunger:
Ever get the feeling that the paint has started peeling
Are you staring at the ceiling of your castle
Dreaming that you're someone else
Nina: Would you like to meet me in this song
Nikolai: I've been hoping to
Nina: Would you like to come and prove me wrong
Nikolai: No, I'll agree with you
Both:
Golden teeth and silver medals
Beauty marks and scars
That is what we got
Raindrops in a reservoir
And minutes in a jar
That is what we got
Nina:
Maybe if I had another drink
I'd see the pattern
In the blinking of the traffic lights
Do you think you're happy, Nikolai
Nikolai:
I don't know the answer, Nina
Life is like a melody
A pendulum that swings between the major and the minor
It's a lullaby
Nina: Now I'm so glad I met you in this song
Nikolai: It's just a breath I'll throw
Nina: I'm so glad you're here to sing along
Nikolai: My voice into the flow
Both:
Golden teeth and silver medals
Beauty marks and scars
That is what we got
Raindrops in a reservoir
And minutes in a jar
That is what we got
Nina: I'm a little worried that the worst is yet to come
Nikolai: I'm afraid they'll leave us out here, melting in the sun
Nina: We'll be second best until we know
Both: We have won
Nina: But until we do, we'll sing this song
Nikolai: Till we know we've won
Nina: We'll sing until our need for it is gone
Nikolai: We'll be singing this song
Both:
Golden teeth and silver medals
Beauty marks and scars
That is what we got
Raindrops in a reservoir
And minutes in a jar
That is what we got
Both:
Golden teeth and silver medals
Beauty marks and scars
That is what we got
Raindrops in a reservoir
And minutes in a jar
That is what we got
