Peter Cincotti - Graffiti Wall lyrics

rate me

It's just about dawn

and the colors have gone

to a concrete gunshot grey

Strobe lights flash

And blind our eyes

Walkin' into a cheap café

It's about skin

Needles and pins

And gettin' yourself a taste

I'm looking at her

Through a Stoli blur

And thinkin' "Aw, what a waste"

Oh, Oh,

I hope you know the way back home

Bring me down before I fall

I've danced this high graffiti wall

So long it feels I've been up here forever

Touch my face and blow away

This fever-whisper when you say,

"It's you and me against the world together"

That money machine

That river of green

Has seen its better days

Honey leg girls

Kick and twirl

'Cause there's always somebody who pays

The poetry of poverty

Won't give up without a fight

To tell you the truth

All I'm trying to do

Is get through another night

Oh, Oh,

I want you more than ever right now

Bring me down before I fall

I've danced this high graffiti wall

So long it feels I've been up here forever

Touch my face and blow away

This fever-whisper when you say,

"It's you and me against the world together"

If you are looking for an exit sign

Or just a door don't waste your time

They built it wide, they built it tall

Graffiti wall's impossible to climb

Oh, oh,

Get me out of this Berlin

Bring me down before I fall

I've danced this high graffiti wall

So long it feels I've been up here forever

Touch my face and blow away

This fever-whisper when you say,

"It's you and me against the world together"
