In the nightclub of my mind, I'm doing cocaine in the cloakroom Come and set me free from my vain and selfish ways For in the gemstones of your eyes, I see stars that shine forever So come and set me free from my vain and selfish ways Your companionship will keep me on the dance floor of the commune And from the road to ruin, I'll emerge a better me But from the corner of my eye, I see that darkness always follows And by now, you know that I know only sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Only sadness sets me free In the mirror of the truth is a question mark of candour Come and set me free from my vain and selfish ways For in the showroom of your heart, I see the courage of a kestrel So come and set me free from my vain and selfish ways Your commitment could coerce me into fruitful coexistence My persistence will be boundless, and the future wide and clear But in the corner of my heart is a kernel of resistance And by now, you know that I know only sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Only sadness sets me free The beam of your moon lights those rocks in my way Your laughter evaporates the struggles of the day But in the shiny sea of life is the longboat of frustration Cursing without comfort, only sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Only sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Only sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free Sadness sets me free
