Odeon

Odeon I know a bar not very far Less than a minute from the Limmat close to the Kronenhalle Where literariries and Mata Hari's And Russian Revolutionaries would meet after dark Drinkin' Champagne by the glass or an Italian wine The Art Nuevo chandelier takes ya back in time Albert Einstein I see with James Joyce and Herman Hesse Sayin, 'Nowadays too many people are willing to die but not to live.' Ode, ode, ode, ode, Odeon Come-drink with me while the night is young We'll laugh with Bohemians and vagabonds Won't you come along? We'll fly, so high tonight at the Odeon Ode, ode, Odeon, Ode, ode Odeon Artists' painters, sinners and sainters People paradin' on the sidewalk down the boulevard We'll drink espressos, write manifestos Chill with Dadaist, expressionist and the Avant-garde Sweet Lucy and Patchouli are in the air Benito's incognito with Vladimir Have a Martini with Puccini who's singin' there Moment to moment just live like you own it and hope to die before you get old ode, ode... Ode, ode, ode, ode, Odeon Come-drink with me while the night is young We'll laugh with Bohemians and vagabonds Till the morning comes We'll fly, so high to the Odeon Ode, ode, Odeon Ode, ode, Odeon, Ode, ode Odeon
