Had to get the train, From Potsdamer Platz,You never knew that I could do that, Just walking the dead. Sitting in the Dschungel, On Nürnberger Strasse…A man lost in time near KaDeWe, Just walking the dead… Where are we now?
You look at me and you reach for the free blue sky I look to the stars as they flicker and float in your eyes And under these wings of steel the small town dies Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed That a small town girl likeyou Would be the boss of me
Something like religion...Dancing face to face...Something like a drowning...Dancing out in space...No-one here can see you...Dancing face to face...No-one here can beat you...Dancing face to face
I gaze in defeat At the stars in the night The light in my life burnt away There will be no tomorrow Then you sigh in your sleep And meaning returns with the day Where do the boys lie Mud mud mud How does the grass grow Blood blood blood
Midnight in the Village Seeger lights the candles From Bitter End to Gaslight Baez leaves the stage Ochs takes notes When the black girl and guitar Burn together hot in rage You've got what it takes You say too much Oh you will set the world babe You will set the world on fire
Walls have got you cornered,You’ve got the blues my friend, And people don’t like you, But you will leave without a sound, without an end, Oblivion shall own you, Death alone shall love you, I hope you feel so lonely, You could die.
My father ran the prison, I can only love you by hating him more, That’s not the truth…And I tell myself I don’t know who I am, But I am a seer, I am a liar…
Stars are never sleeping, Dead ones and the living.
