Regina Spektor - Düsseldorf lyrics

rate me

In Düsseldorf i met a clown

His nose, it was red

In gelterkinden i forgot to frown

Then remembered again

In Paris i saw a big fish

Swimming slow in the seine

It made me hopeful that someday our

Water will be breathable again

In frankfurt i heard ein zwei drei

Counting cookies and no one was shot

In berlin stopped by the polizai

For drunk driving and everyone smiled

In prague i knew i’d been a witch

Burnt alive, a pyre of soviet kitsch

It made me miss my moscow mother

It made me miss my New York nothing

In Montpelier i stayed in a chateau

A girl climbed into my bed and she knew no boundaries

And in Amsterdam i got quite crazy

Might have been all the tulips and canals

Or it might have been all that hash, and in

Barcelona - buenos dias, chocolate, le picasso

And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel

And in London, me and the french existentialists

In corsica i floated away

All the way to marseilles

I should have held an afterparty

For all the thoughts i didn’t say

In dusseldorf i met a dwarf

With bad breath and a really good tan

In gelterkinden i remembered how to laugh

And i never ever forgot it again
