I sleep between the gates of night
In a no man’s land
Always closer than you think
A kind of your best friend
I have no religion and I have no flag
I don’t care if you’re wrong or right
Lilac skinned or black

I’m a cosmopolitician
Closer than your next of kin
Angel, devil of the night
And the seed of everything

And if your world has turned to ashes
I will leave you never
Even when the sun’s blown out
I will shine forever
I caress you with my charms
I’m your best friend, the dream
I’m the light that guides you through the nights
And deepest haze

I’m a cosmopolitician…

Anyone can visit me, in my no man’s land,
Children, lovers, lunatics, thiefs and presidents,
You can call me willow-the-whisp
But I shine in good faith,
I’m the one you’ll always find
Even when you lose your mind

I’m a cosmopolitician…

Alt. spoken part:
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around
Are you awake or do you dream
You’re stuck inside a frozen scene
You try to move but there’s no moves
You try to speak but there’s no use
You try to wake up but you can’t
You close your eyes without a chance
You need a friend without a doubt
I wonder why you came around…
