The first 24 lines.
I blacked out ‘til the morning broke
And I was swallowing glass and inhaling smoke
I lost my mind in a haze of cobbled streets and broken windows
I managed to get away For a minute or two, to catch my breath
Just long enough to catch sight of a man
With a broken nose and a bandaged leg
Sleeping silently in a photo booth
On the road where I caught a cab
Back through the heart of the tourist district
And into our rundown, rented pad
And I met a strange girl from Brazil
She made me laugh for an hour or two
And it took me back to the festival Where I was sure that I was gonna go
But then I bought a beer from a nice bar lady
With the kindest eyes that I’d ever seen
She said "... take a water too honey It’s warm outside
We don’t want you dying do we..."
Oh Berlin my love I’ve got you underneath my skin
In the early hours of the morning I can’t help but let you in
Oh Berlin my love I’ve got you underneath my skin
In the early hours of the morning I can’t help but let you in
I was there talking to you About some of the shit
they’d put you through And I knew that
this could be my chance To get you closer
