Beatsteaks Lyrics
"Everything Went Black"

Her name was Rita the Whore
La Vida Loca for sure
She knocked 'em out of the park
Streetwalking holes in her shoes
Another sip of the booze
And everything went black

His name was Norman OG
Don't you come crying to me
The day that changed his life
He married Rita the Whore
La Vida Loca no more
He said be back in no time

Calls for a cigarette
As good as it can get
And kill some time
It's never comin' back

Forward to Mary and Steve
Just turning 20 and free
She really liked his style
Attraction over the moon
They got together and soon
She was expecting a child

Calls for a cigarette
As good as it can get
And kill some time
It's never comin' back
Calls for a cigarette
So don't you wanna bet
And kill some time

She caught an evil disease
It broke her down to her knees
Eventually took her life
And when Steve heard the news
Took out the doctor she used
And left the scene with a smile

Calls for a cigarette
As good as it can get
And kill some time
It's never comin' back
Calls for a cigarette
So don't you wanna bet
And kill some time
