see-G-C(sus4)-G-see
F-C(sus4)-G(sus4)-C(sus4)
Well I've been up to Pa-G-ris, and I've slept in a see park.
Went down to Barce-G-lona, someone broke in my see car
And I'll search the world F over for my angel in C(sus4) black.
Yeah, I'll search the world G over for a Euro-trash C(sus4) Girl.
Took the train down to Athens, and I slept in a fountain.
Some Swiss junkie in Turin, ripped me off for my cash.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
The CRS on the metro shook me down for a bribe.
On my knees for the sergeant when my passport arrived.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash Girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash Girl
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Called my mom from a payphone, I said "I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college, now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married, well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me, but I can stand on my own.
Sold my plasma in Amsterdam: spent it all in a night
Buying drinks at the Melk Weg for a soldier in drag.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl
my Euro-trash Girl
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.

G-see-G-see
F-see-G-see
Got a tattoo in Berlin and a case of the crabs.
A rose and a dagger on the palm of my hand.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl
Euro-trash Girl
my Euro-trash Girl
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
