The storms were over, but the party kept raging The smoke circle in Stockholm was mostly Canadian Standing on your street, straight out of the lion's den Every single place on earth I've ever been You were living in a shadow when I saw you in Malmo Your bitterness really spoke to me back then And I had my doubts, but you told me to let them go I wore my welcome out, but I guess you know how that goes Feeling like a man without a nation Born in a hostage situation Some clothes in the drawer, a few books on a shelf But I'm a visitor here like everywhere else And the whole world smolders just like it's always done And you'll always have a lie when you need one Feeling like a man without a nation Born in a hostage situation Feeling like a man without a nation Everything in ceaseless mutation
