lyrics

Charlie, tango and turmoil
just what I need right now
A socker punch and a gold coin
will give you one more round

Miracles, moonlight and small talk
isn't that what you came for?
At least I know who I am
Suddenly behind closed doors
insecurity turns into hardcore
At least I know who I am

Battlescars and suntan

Comfort candy and snake oil
will do the trick just right
Remedy from the tin foil
keeps my engine on all night

Ridicule, remorse and spacewalk
this is not what I signed for
At least I know who I am
Suddenly behind closed doors
glamour turns into horror
At least I know who I am

Battlescars and suntan

Miracles, moonlight and small talk
isn't that what you came for?
At least I know who I am
Suddenly behind closed doors
insecurity turns into hardcore
At least I know who I am

Battlescars and suntan
