These sore red eyes
                    
explore the room again
                                                 
The signed pictures of film stars who stayed here in eras
                      
that knew of no wall
                        
Berlin, Berlin ...


Far out the old world lives
on this island in Germany
And still out there through the window at six in the morning
The essence survives
Berlin, Berlin ...


         (2x)

                                                
Come they told me, down to the dark clubs at night
                                                           
They'll surprise you, the one's who are asleep when it's light
                                           
So outrageous, like tropical birds in a cage
                       
Out from underneath their stones
                   
Berlin...

Young faces new ideals,
in search of paradise
They merge into the history, the theatre of memories
that make up the feel
of Berlin, Berlin ...
