Oh Berlin

Hansa, Hansa, Hansa, Hansa

White snow we turn it turning to slush

A festival of brown in the city of my crush

If you wanna look walk around, you can stick step inside

Köthner Straße achtunddreißig

Oh Berlin

Who would could think they would find you by just looking?

Oh Berlin

How many of us hide in hiding you here?

Oh Berlin

To think I could know you by your name

To stare and not be stared at

To look and not be seen

To feel new feelings

Rather than understand where you've just been

Fame, huh

Oh Berlin

Who could they would find you by just looking?

Oh Berlin

When you flap your angel wings

Oh Berlin

To think that I could know you by your name

Chasing just seen the ghosts of our my heroes

Lou Reed, David Bowie, Iggy, Wim Wenders, Rilke

To change location rather than change yourself

To ask for directions rather than ask for help

To remain always a true friend fan

Oh Berlin

Who could think they would find you by just looking?

Oh Berlin

When you flap your angel wings

Oh Berlin

To think that I could know you by your name

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angelic orders?

And even if one were to suddenly take me to its heart

I would vanish into its stronger existence

For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror

That we are still able to bear and we revere it so

Because it calmly disdains to destroy us

Every angel is terror

Every angel is terror

Oh Berlin

Every angel is terror

Every angel is terror

Who would think they could find you by just looking?

Every angel is terror

Every angel is terror

Oh Berlin

How many of us hide in hiding you here?

Oh Berlin

To think that I could know you by a single name
