Gambling the tiny shards of brass once my heart

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about
I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom
It's only when you're outside that you notice
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
Surely not the one that loves me truly only
Only through the window you can see them
I'm tired of writing elegies in general
Once the door is open, all will vanish
I don't care, I really want to go

Waitin' for a call in my hotel room
So I'm openin' the door wide to the ballroom
Callin' up some dude from my hotel room

Who will be at Sanssouci tonight?
Need nobody at Sanssouci tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm lookin' through the window from the garden
Gently polishing my cabriolet only
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight
And I swear I saw them climb the stairs that sweet mystery
He's probably down at the stables there
Could it be I came to the wrong place?
The candles seem to all have been blown out
I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight, tonight, tonight
All together, playing games of cards
