Next Stop Loneliness heeft als thema de stad Beirut in de jaren 40 van de vorige eeuw.
Beirut in the 1940s was a transformative decade, marked by Lebanon's independence from the French Mandate in 1943, following protests and political turmoil. The city served as a vital Allied base during World War II, transitioning into a key political and cultural hub. It was a period of significant nation-building, power-sharing, and early modern urban development.

Loneliness
Bpm:122
E7#9
Walking in the hustle and
bustle
E7#9
Of downtown Beirut in the forties
Am7
My heart troubled and my soul on ice
Am7
When a pair of marbled white
legs
E7#9
Their whiteness descended
from heaven
E7#9
A Lucifer angel to swallow the
comotion
Am7
Of the buses, street vendors
And movie theaters
Am7
The prostitutes with their hungry
eyes

When your
body like a constant lover

Flirts for
the first time with faithlessness cmaj7 Brn7
A passenger
on a long, long journey

Next stop loneliness (2x)
E7#9
I hear your voice, then a
buzz
E7#9
On the
broken line between us
Am7
From a
whole murderous hive
Am7
Of nearly
endless possibilities
E7#9
When your
body in all it's fear and cunning
E7#9
Makes her
promises to me
Am7
