Lyrics

We drank coffee on the rainy street by the Church St. Catherine Eyes full of love pockets full of dreams You wanted to be a singer then Berlin was the place to be You asked if I would come with you and live on the River Spree I said sure I'll come and live with you but my German's not so good Said it didn't matter in the Kreuzberg neighborhood I wanted to write a play for us document our lives Climbed aboard the sleeper train cross the border late at night Berlin, Berlin, a place for you and me We will find the answer then Down by the River Spree Berlin was really paranoid but it really had an edge You found yourself upon the bank I wrote dialogues in my head You dyed your hair red and black started doing drugs Depressions filled your soul at night beyond the cure of hugs You once saw Paris, Texas Thought about the States Fassbender fascinated you and the Brandenburg Gate While others dreamed of Paris, France you saw Alexanderplatz The image grabbed you by the arm and pulled you to the mat Berlin, Berlin A place for you and me We will find the answer then Down by the River Spree You started falling down at night I saw you cut yourself using kitchen knives and razor blades Trying to hurt yourself Your life became a nightmare in a dream that wasn't you Fleeing some rejection A torn mask nobody knew There were needles on the nightstand spoons across the floor It was getting hard to watch you nodding and trying to score You said there was only one way out to ever really become free It was raining when you killed yourself hunched over on your knees Berlin, Berlin A place for you and me We will find the answer then Down by the River Spree Demons never let you go they never set you free On a night almost too wet and dark to ever be believed You were staring at the other bank open eyes that couldn't see That's where the cops they found you Down by the River Spree Berlin, Berlin A place for you and me We will find the answer there Down by the River Spree
