lyrics

Tommy and Brenda met in a squat
One Berlin September believe it or not
It was love at first translation which happens a lot
In a place where the world stood off

We suffer together the strangers malaise
Our perspicuous splendour is crumbling away
We might know the noun but not what it takes
So we all use the same stock phrase

'Ich bin ein Berliner, echt, ich wohne dabei
Am Osten, in Prenzlauerberg, ich finde es geil'

We put on our accents and dust off our tales
If you talk and dress loudly it never fail
'Cause The strange is attractive, the familiar is stale
Through the smoke and the Augentrail

'Ich bin zwar ein Ausländer, nicht dasselbe, na und?
Eben, es gibt für uns ein zukunft,
Mein heißersehnt einer, mein alles ist Du
Ich bin wo du bist und ich träume mich Dir zu'

Tommy and Brenda well they tied the knot
A reception like bender was held in the squat
It helped me remember what I almost forgot
That love makes the world go round
Grüß Gott
