Lyrics

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
Theres 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 astronamical, 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. (x4)

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 youre 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 cityshamed kinda day
I'm going home hey. (x5)

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!

We were young girls in a small world
I'm on your doorstep man
Ringin your bell again, I'm ringin your bell again
I'm sorry gerite rouge
