lyrics

RISKY KISS ON KONGENS GATE
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

They say honey doesn't go bad
but this honey was wrong

I met her in an Oslo cab
during the midnight sun

Brown over blue
pale balcony with a view
A hidden door to slip through
a risky kiss to fall into

she knew a secret bunker
where the Oslogjengen used to stash their arms

The smell of lavender and gun oil
melted me into her charms

Brown over blue
pale balcony with a view
A hidden door to slip through
a risky kiss to fall into

(spoken)
She took me to a tiny
attic not far from Akershus Fortress
and the next 13 hours are a cherry blossom blur
of music and Hansa Pilsner and skin
The next morning, I think it was morning,
I stumbled fog headed out onto
Kongen's Gate and never saw her again
I thought "I like Norway"

They say honey doesn't go bad
but that honey was wrong

honey spun my head
and shook the ground I've been walking on

Brown over blue
pale balcony with a view
A hidden door to slip through
a risky kiss to fall into
