They Might Be Giants - Road Movie to Berlin lyrics

rate me

We're in a road movie to Berlin

Can't drive out the way we drove in

So sneak out this glass of bourbon

And we'll go

We were once so close to heaven

Peter came out and gave us medals

Declaring us the nicest of the damned

Time won't find the lost

It'll sweep up our skeleton bones

So take the wheel and I will take the pedals

We're in a road movie to Berlin

Can't drive out the way we drove in

So sneak out this glass of bourbon

And we'll go

Notes

The Dial-a-Song version (which is closer to the version printed in the Flood liner notes) goes as follows:

We're in a road movie to Berlin

Can't drive out the way you drove in

So sneak out this glass of bourbon

And we'll go

We were once so close to Heaven

Peter came out and gave us medals

Declaring us the nicest of the damned

You said you were the king of liars

And I believed you and called you sire

But I realize now that I have been deceived
