Shirtless in Hamburg

John Darnielle

(Spoken intro)
Alright: Shirtless in Hamburg

[Verse 1]
Sleep two to a bed;
Four to a room
Profits from the countryside
Glad tidings of doom

Too broke to play around
Like the soldiers do
All up and down
The glittering avenue

Anything's better than the future
I can see that from here

[Verse 2]
Stack the amplifiers high
Turn up the bass
Spring wild from the wings
With glitter on my young face

It's miserable outside
But in here it's warm
It always feels so stable
At the center of the storm

Snake on my chest for protection—
Why the hell not?
