Oh Berlin, your heart has been drawn and quartered again
Oh, 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, there's a bit of you in me
Let's go!
Oh Berlin, your life's on fire, burns deep within this heart of mine
You got astronomical, economical, suffering for a century
And when the ocean swells that day, I'll get on my ship and I'll sail away
On this ship, on this ship, on this ship, oh
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 livin' the blackest years of my life
But I did not know until you said goodbye
Goodbye!
Oh, Berlin your witness stands here
On this city shamed kinda day
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home
I'm going home
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
Livin' the blackest years of my life
But I did not know until you said goodbye
Goodbye!
We were young girls in a small world
I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
Ringin' your bell again
We were young girls in a small fucked world
I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
I'm ringin' your bell again

We were young girls in a small world

I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
I'm ringin' your bell again
