The Auteurs - Modern History Lyrics

Well the desk porter laughed
News of our legend and our exploits
Traveled far from bell-hop to hired car
All this and more

Modern History
On the third floor

So is this where he died
Spend your life cutting up words
With a knife I light a candle for each night
You waste your life

Modern History
On the third floor

Well they're never gonna forget us
We're the most famous people that they know
Went to a party I didn't say a word

You don't know how lucky you were
You don't know how lucky you are

So we set fire to your room
And we bandaged up your
Hands and your arms
Now where's your beauty gone?

Modern History
On the third floor
