Vienna

[Verse 1]
City of royal blood
Blossom on the trees
Emperors and thieves are scheming
Surrounded by history
Opera within reach
She's only just 18 and dreaming

[Chorus]
Spend all her life just closing her eyes
Trying to paint the picture perfect life
Thinking when did Vienna fall apart

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2]
Empty bottles and cigarettes
Another night another lover
There’s a price to pull the covers upway
Hiding in silhouettes
Secrets undiscovered
The heart that might recover someday

[Chorus]
Spend all her life just closing her eyes
Trying to paint the picture perfect life
The truth's hard to find, lost in paradise
No family no love, there's nothing above

[Chorus]
So when did Vienna fall apart
When did Vienna fall apart
Vienna
Vienna
When did Vienna fall apart

[Bridge]
She made a secret life
Taking lovers for a price
As the needle claims another little sacrifice
Tears are streaming down her face
As the rope slips into place
A breath, a step

[Chorus]
Vienna
Vienna
When did Vienna fall apart
Vienna
Vienna
Oh fall apart
Vienna
Vienna
When did Vienna fall apart
