Shampain
Marina %26 the Diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to hide, the hole inside my head,
Watching the stars slide down to reach the end,
'Cause sleep is not my friend.
Drinking champagne to forget yesterday,
'Cause I remember the way, the way, the way,
It ended the day, the day, the day, the day,
Drinking champagne, made by the angel,
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel,
Drinking champagne, made of an angel's,
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial.
Elderly stars, slide down the morning sky,
Slipping away, to find a place to die,
I wonder when, the night will reach its end,
'Cause sleep is not my friend.
Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding,
Toast to the bride, a fairytale ending,
Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself,
Savor the taste of fabricated wealth.
Drinking champagne, made by the angel,
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel,
Drinking champagne made of an angel's,
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial.
Celestial,
Celestial,
Celestial,
Celestial.
Drinking champagne, made by the angel,
Who goes by the name, of Glittering Gabriel,
Drinking champagne made of an angel's,
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial.
Drinking champagne, made by the angel,
Who goes by the name, of Glittering Gabriel,
Drinking champagne made of an angel's,
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial.

"Shampain"
Lay dagger dead inside a lonely bed
Trying to hide the hole inside my head
Watching the stars slide down to reach the end
The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne to forget yesterday
Coz I remember, the way, the way, the way
It ended the day, the day, the day, the day
That I walked away, away, away, away
[Chorus:]
Drinking champagne, made by the angel
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel
Drinking champagne made of an angel's
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial
Elderly stars slide down the morning sky
Slipping away to find a place to die
I wonder when the night will reach it's end
The sleep is not my friend
Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding
Toast to the bride, a fairytale ending
Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself
Savor the taste of fabricated wealth
[Chorus repeat]
