Moving To Berlin

We’ve got to get out of this place

The people here are tired and mean

I watched them slash the prophet’s face

With a shard from one of our broken dreams

They give us wine then they take it away

And their neon shrines burn night and day

What are we doing here

Where poets are hanged

And betrayed by a kiss?

She says ‘’Stay here with me

You’re going to leave me lonely’’

‘’Stay here with me

You’re going to leave me lonely’’

‘’Stay here with me

You’re going to leave me lost and lonely’’

What if want to take you with me?

Far away from these scars and bars

From the hard faced women of this town

Who’ll radiate themselves until they turn brown

They’ll live and die with little taste of freedom

In their pebbled dashed mausoleums

Our still born hopes are up in smoke

Just as they’ve been so many times before

I guess that we’d be fools to believe

That things could be any different this time

She says ‘’Stay here with me

You’re going to leave me lonely’’

‘’Stay here with me

You’re going to leave me lonely’’

‘’Stay here with me

You’re going to leave me lost and lonely’’
