Amanda Palmer - Berlin lyrics

rate me

Your bicycle's chained to the fence outsideThere's plenty of offers, but you won't rideHow you pedal in those is a miracleA miracleAnd you laugh at yourselfAs you speed through the red lightsOh, BerlinNobody knows where you've beenIn the space where your brain and your heart collideYou're convinced there's a practical place that you can hideAnd you laugh at the bellhopHystericalHystericalWith your bag full of dresses and butcher's knivesOh, BerlinNobody know's where you've beenBut they all look so ugly and mean when you're soberYou've auctioned away all your crimson and cloverAnd Ronny leaves lines out and lights up the curtainYou know what you're doing, you know it for certainThe last thing I saw, they were reading your rightsIf you're going to go down, then you're going down fightingAs long as you're bentAnd as long as they're watchingYou're going to make rentYou go no other optionWhat?Did you think you were worth my while?Did you think I would cramp my style?That if I had to say in itThat I'd sit here and bite my lip and listenWhat?What?Do you think that I come off bored?Paid a fortune to be ignored?Did you think that I come here outOf the goodness of my own heart?To work in an assembly line of broken hearts?Not supposed to fix them, only strip and sell the partsIt's hard to workOn an assembly line of broken heartsNot supposed to fix themOnly strip them and sell the partsYour bicycle's chained up to the fence outsideThere's plenty of offers, but you won't rideHow you pedal in those is a miracleA miracleAnd you laugh at yourselfAs you speed through the red lights
