Nina Persson The Grand Destruction Game Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I made eyes with a sailor
With a burned up hand
The cross-eyed lead singer
Of a bad bar band
I loved an elegant gangster
And a customs man

[Hook]
But then I fell for him
And that was the end

[Verse 2]
He was my gold plated scarab
He was my chosen one
He was my sandinista
And my royal bum
He was my used car salesman
And my wayward son

[Hook]
And then I fell for him
And that was the end

[Chorus 1]
In the morning you may wake to find that I'm gone
Sad to go but you know I need to stumble on
In time with the passing of the days
You'll forget my name
It's strange, I know, the way some people play But I'm just the same
The grand destruction game
[Verse 1]
I made eyes with a sailor
With a burned up hand
The cross-eyed lead singer
Of a bad bar band
I loved an elegant gangster
And a customs man

[Hook]
And then I feel for him
And that was the end
And then I feel for him
And that was the end

[Chorus 2]
In the morning I may wake to find that he's gone
Sad and lonely but I know he too must stumble on
In time with the passing of the days
I may forget his name
It's strange, you know, the way some people play
But he's just the same
The grand destruction game
