Berlin Lyrics - Amanda Palmer

Your bicycle's chained to the fence outside 

There's plenty of offers, but you won't ride 

How you pedal in those is a miracle 

A miracle 

And you laugh at yourself 

As you speed through the red lights 

Oh, Berlin 

Nobody knows where you've been 

In the space where your brain and your heart collide 

You're convinced there's a practical place that you can hide 

And you laugh at the bellhop 

Hysterical 

Hysterical

With your bag full of dresses and butcher's knives 

Oh, Berlin 

Nobody knows where you've been 

But they all look so ugly and mean when you're sober 

You've auctioned away all your crimson and clover 

And Ronny leaves lines out and lights up the curtain 

You know what you're doing, you know it for certain 

The last thing I saw, they were reading your rights 

If you're gonna go down, then you're going down fighting 

As long as you're bent 

And as long as they're watching 

You're gonna make rent 

You got no other option 

What? 

Did you think you were worth my while? 

Did you think I would cramp my style? 

That if I had a say in it 

That I'd sit here and bite my lip and listen 

What? 

Photos 

What? 

Do you think that I come off bored? 

Paid a fortune to be ignored? 

Did you think that I come here out 

of the goodness of my own heart 

To work on an assembly line of broken hearts? 

Not supposed to fix them, only strip and sell the parts 

It's hard to work 

On an assembly line of broken hearts 

Not supposed to fix them, only strip and sell the parts 

Your bicycle's chained to the fence outside 

There's plenty of offers, but you won't ride 

How you pedal in those is a miracle 

A miracle 

And you laugh at yourself 

As you speed through the red lights
