lyrics
A walk in the cold air
Bohemian rhapsodies, drugs and tragedies
A night and a sad affair
Alternative arts and pleasure ruled their world
Insomniacs on the hill
A young drummer searched for Zen and played on a garbage can
David B. paid the bill
Blaue Reiter, a childhood gets lost by the zoo
They took Berlin, artists without glory
Just a few stories, I will tell you tonight
It felt so cool. The whole town said, “Don’t worry!”
A lot of smoke in laundries, they fought a cold, cold fight
Punks and the cheapest beer
Coffee and cigarettes, white bums and minarets
Pubs and hidden fears
Iron Curtain and another blind excess
G. was in love with D.
D. was a mentalist, one of them still exists
They had no place to go
The two of them were just bricks in the Berlin Wall
Bohemian rhapsodies, drugs and tragedies
A night and a sad affair
Alternative arts and pleasure ruled their world
Insomniacs on the hill
A young drummer searched for Zen and played on a garbage can
David B. paid the bill
Blaue Reiter, a childhood gets lost by the zoo
They took Berlin, artists without glory
Just a few stories, I will tell you tonight
It felt so cool. The whole town said, “Don’t worry!”
A lot of smoke in laundries, they fought a cold, cold fight
Punks and the cheapest beer
Coffee and cigarettes, white bums and minarets
Pubs and hidden fears
Iron Curtain and another blind excess
G. was in love with D.
D. was a mentalist, one of them still exists
They had no place to go
The two of them were just bricks in the Berlin Wall
