oh berlin your heart has been drawn and quartered again
the east and the west were divided by a wall
that staunched their freedom well the wall came
down in 1989 but its ghost still refuses to leave
these hauntings are so reputative
theres a bit of you in me lets go
oh berlin your life is on fire it burns deep within
this heart of mine
you got astronamical, economical, suffering for a century
and when the ocean swells that day i'll get on my ship
and i'll sail away all this shit i'm on this ship all this shit

and when you're all alone don't forget me
and when i'm all alone i won't forget you
and when you're all alone don't forget me
cause i'm on the wrong side of the tracks
but i did not know until you turned your back
i'm living the blackest years of my life
but i did not know until you said goodbye, goodbye

oh berlin your witness stands here
oh this cityshamed kinda day
i'm going home hey i'm going home hey i'm going home
hey i'm going home hey i'm going home hey i'm going home
hey i'm going home hey i'm going home hey i'm going home
hey i'm going home hey i'm going home hey i'm going home
hey i'm going home hey i'm going home hey i'm going home

and when you're all alone don't forget me
and when i'm all alone i won't forget you
and when you're all alone don't forget me
cause i'm on the wrong side of the tracks
but i did not know until you turned your back
i'm living the blackest years of my life
but i did not know until you said goodbye
goodbye!
