In the Blue Hour in Berlin

Lyrics

The Ferris wheel in winter Looming large and still Forlorn yet expectant It's empty cars to fill The fog it shrouds the tower And this candle is my twin As it flickers out and gutters In the blue hour in Berlin But the cabaret is calling As the night life comes awake I hit the U-Bahn and head out This doom n' gloom to shake Met an angel at the station On the southwest side So pretty it was painful My admiration hard to hide She gave me good directions Back to Oskar-Helene-Heim Thеre to catch the last train On the Nollеndorfplatz line Now I'm conjuring her visage A butterfly to pin Playing "coulda, woulda, shoulda" In the blue hour in Berlin But das cabaret is calling As the night life comes awake I hit the U-Bahn and head out This doom n' gloom to shake The cabaret is calling As the night life comes awake I take the U-Bahn and head out This doom n' gloom to shake Met a willing choking victim In the crucible of sin She placed my hand around her throat Said, "Do it!" and leaned in Her cold eyes misted over As the oxygen grew thin She said, "You must catch me when I go" In the blue hour in Berlin This city's full of beauties But much to my chagrin They disappear like phantoms So, cue that sad violin Yeah, I'll miss 'em all forever Like IV heroin Withheld from a junky In the blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin The blue hour in Berlin
