Well I've been up to Paris 
And I've slept in a park. 
Went down to Barcelona 
Someone broke in my car 

And I'll search the world over 
For my angel in black. 
Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For a Eurotrash 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 Eurotrash 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, I'll search the world over 
For a Eurotrash Girl 

Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash 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. 
Ya 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. 

And I'll search the world over 
For my angel in black. 
Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For a Eurotrash Girl 

Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 
My Eurotrash Girl 

Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For my angel in black. 
Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For a Eurotrash Girl 

Got a tattoo in Berlin 
And a case of the crabs. 
A rose and a dagger 
On the palm of my hand. 

And I'll search the world over 
For my angel in black. 
Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For a Eurotrash Girl. 

Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 
Eurotrash Girl 

Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For my angel in black. 
Yeah, I'll search the world over 
For a Eurotrash Girl.
