Whiskey And Lasagne
Click to see the original lyrics (Turkish)
To endure life and the age we live in,
I (always) listen to delirious songs, she said...
So we listened them
We looked down from the hotels' 32nd floor, we romanticized thought of suicide
It was so nice to meet you, she said, you're not really my type but
You're a nice person, I like that...
We finished the minibar, smoked a lot of cigarettes
The fire alarm was activated,
A guy came out (of nowhere), we thought somehow or another, we'll pay the fine tomorrow
The gal said "come",
Let's misuse the room service a little, I said okay
We ordered lasagna with whiskey at 3 am
We drank and ate
She didn't like it, she said it had less parmesan but more basil...
She said let's continue like this but let's not make love,
I said alright then, it doesn't matter to me
She said I had lots of dreams, but I didn't have the grind stone
Maybe they could've come true,
Maybe they wouldn't, but I never thought it could never happen...
I was young and I kept falling into the trap of love
Sometimes I was selling my loyalty, but there was no one to buy it
If I hadn't get carried away from men or, one day by shopping,
One day by menage trois...
Maybe it could've been real then, and if it hadn't happened then it would've happened anyway...
I suddenly became open mouthed
Said if there were no holes in my soul
I could've understand maybe
Then, about
What do people say, what do they think
What do (actually) they love
I might not know but
What is the value of it
I would know...
If I hadn't watched,
From this close
Everything, myself
Then maybe I could've have understood
The blood pumping
The veins, the valves
I would have felt,
If the devil hadn't filled inside of me
I would've been nothing more than a useless piece of meat
Then maybe...
Maybe I would shiver
In the morning of a rain
My lips would be shriveled up
I would belong to somewhere
I could've a piece of life in my hand
Maybe I could love something...
But my heart itself doesn't even hear how it beats
And then I see the stream has (already) overflown
If everything was different
I'd were a dog that is chases for a shadow, not for food
At least I wouldn't think like "it's never going to happen"
Then, maybe there wouldn't be red prescriptions & hospital wards
Now where I'm at, has it's misery
I get it, life is in somewhere else
She said hush, you've been talking to much, you made me blue...
Said, make love with me...
I woke up to the sound of her taking shower
After she got out, I said shall we drink coffee?
She replied drop it & left
I came across with her here and there, once or twice
I said I (still) have your necklace and earrings
Have a look at them from time to time, she said, maybe you'll keep remembering me...
I do remember her sometimes
Whiskey and lasagna
Less parmesan but with more basil...
