berlin - take my breath away

Watchin' every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame
Turnin' and returning to some secret place inside
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watchin', I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitatin' to become the fated ones
Turnin' and returning to some secret place to hide
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn to me and say, my love

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed, I called you and turned to hear you say
If only for today, I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watchin' every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion, somewhere there's a love in flames
Turnin' and returning to some secret place inside
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away
My love
My love, take my breath away

berlin - dancing in berlin

Stop, now let's go again
Go, don't stop again
No, I don't want to be alone

Yes, it's a time for fun
Dance, 'til the night is done
Look, it's a motion picture show

Dancing in Berlin
I want to see you
Dancing in Berlin

East, such a mystery
West, open history
You, just a moment flashing by

Look, see I'm just like you
Hey, can't you see it's true
Touch, and you'll feel the answer too

Reach, for your politics
Fire, propaganda tricks
Stop, just look at me again

One, there's no time for this
Two, grant me just one wish
Please, there's no wall in front of you

berlin - masquerade

The painted faces on the street
caricatures of long ago
oh they were young and oh so sweet
down beyond the boulevard
knock on doors and empty halls
and still sometimes remember
the masquerade's forever

when you see the price they paid
i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

the reeling figurtes pass on by
like ghosts in some forgotten play
beneath the black and empty sky
music plays and figures dance
with partners chosen by chance
and still some times remember
the masquerade's forever

they reached for tomorrow
but tomorrows, more of the same
so they reached for tomorrow
but tomorrow never came

when you hear the price they paid
i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

one by one and two by two
past eight by tens in shattered frames
the players try to leave the room
frantic puppets on a string
and all the while the music sings
and still sometimes remember
the masquerade's forever

berlin - the dope show

Addictive drugs they say
Make us feel so hollow
We love in vain
Narcissistic and so shallow
The cops and queers
To swim you have to swallow
Hate today
No love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
Who wanna to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
The drugs they say
Are made in california
We love your face
We'd really like to sell you
The cops and queers
Make good - looking models
I hate today
Who will I wake up with tomorrow?
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
Who wanna to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
Who wanna to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
They'll blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
We're all stars now in the dope show

berlin - highway to dangerzone

Rivin' up your engine
Listen to her howling row.
Metall under tension
Beggin you to touch and go

Highway to the dangerzone
Going rigth into the dangerzone

Heading into twiligth
Spreading out her wings tonight
She's jumpin' ya of track
Shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the dangerzone
Going rigth into the dangerzone

Closer to the edge
Higher the intensity
Futher to the edges
allways where I burn to be

Highway to the dangerzone
Going rigth into the dangerzone

berlin - diane

You thought this couldn't happen
But anything can
Floored it in one direction
Now it's driving you mad

You gave your heart with all its passion
How could you know it would come crashin' in
Diane

I won't desert you, Diane
Won't watch him hurt you, Diane
Don't let him take your pride
Girl, it's no shame to cry
I'll keep your secret, Diane

You tasted holy water
And thought you were saved
You're not the devil's daughter
But you feel like his slave

Although his anger's never showing
The screams that no one heard echoing in Diane

I won't desert you, Diane
(time won't wait for lies or secrets)
Won't watch him hurt you
Diane (time won't wait for wait for wait for...)
The tears run down your cheeks
Now your shame runs too deep
I'll keep your secret, Diane

Love will go on even though innocence dies
Life will be yours again though innocence dies

One broken heart feels like no other
Don't turn your back on love, you will recover

Chorus

Time won't wait for lies or secrets
You'll be stronger for your weakness
Time won't wait for lies I see you walking in the dark
I see you waiting for the light
I see you watching for the door
I see you waiting for the light
But time won't wait for wait for wait for...

berlin - animal

Looking at my little dress
Does it make you wanna take me now
And grab me with emphasis
Then you're gonna have to chase me down

And you won't finish til I'm done
And you won't quit it til I'm done
And you'll never get enough
And you'll bite til you draw blood

Can you feel the animal
I feel it when you touch my body
And you know what I really want
I want my fill of you, oh oh oh

Can you feel the animal
I feel it when you touch my body
I'll leave you lying on the floor
When I've had my fill of you, oh oh oh

So kiss me when you pull my hair
I like it when you make it hurt
I don't need a little boy
If you want it then you're gonna have to work

And you won't finish til I'm done
And you won't quit it til I'm done
And you'll never get enough
And you'll bite til you draw blood

Can you feel the animal
I feel it when you touch my body
And you know what I really want
I want my fill of you, oh oh oh

Can you feel the animal
I feel it when you touch my body
I'll leave you lying on the floor
When I've had my fill of you, oh oh oh

berlin - you don t know

We cross the street
You hold my hand
Afraid to let go
And if I walked away
And left you there
Would you know why

You are the answer now
You don't know
You can be everything
You don't know
You won't believe it now
You don't know anymore
You are the reason and the rhyme

We walk into your room
A mirror's caught your reflection
You walk away and call to me
To fill in the frame

You are the only one
You don't know
You are the fire of love
You don't know
You can believe it now
You don't know anymore
You are the reason and the rhyme

I walk this road
You follow me
I don't know why

And if I walked away
And left you there
Would you know why?

berlin - never let me down again

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again

Never let me down

See the stars they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

berlin - 89 lines

As a dog with a bone is always
In danger, so's a woman with a
Bag when meeting dark strangers
She holds it just a little bit tighter
Which she wouldn't do if my skin were lighter
It's not in my mind, I've been around the block a few times
Every time she crosses to the other side
Women supposedly got that intuition
So they should no better, but that's a dubious distinction
It's not a figment of my imagination it happens a lot
When I flag down a cab it doesn't stop
Not because I look dangerous or nothing like that
It's not 'cause he's off duty it's cause I'm black
The police come flying around
The corner with the red light screaming
I pulled over to let them pass, they pulled over too,
I thought that I was dreaming
I'm scared to death of our men in blue
It must be cold over there in your shoes

So close your eyes
In silent night
Bet you can't tell
If I'm black or white

Turn out the lights
Stand here by my side
Cause we're all alike
On the inside

One step up
Then two to the side
One more man
Let the sleeping dog lie
From the back of the bus
To screams in the night
Planting flowers of fire
With these 89 lines

Doesn't it bring back some terrifying memories
There goes the president making more enemies
If he's doing to his wife what he's doing to the country
She'd be happy, we could stand up and dump the monkey
I ask not what I can do for my country
Cause I wonder sometimes if it cares for me
The government could change a lot with education
And catching kids before they start to think in races
And eliminate a lot of infuriating situations
Your blindness not of eyes you go public with your lies
Then as to prove you have a heart in private you apologize
Seems my history is a set of lies agreed upon by you repeated
So many times and for so long accepted as the truth
Like an unfriendly takeover attempt
I get in you hold on fuckin' coincidence
Like a nicotine stain it won't go away
And it won't if you raise your kids this way

So close your eyes
In silent night
Bet you can't tell
If I'm black or white

Turn out the lights
Stand here by my side
Cause we're all alike
On the inside

One step up
Then two to the side
One more man
Let the sleeping dog lie
From the back of the bus
And screams in the night
Planting flowers of fire
With these 89 lines

What's your favorite color
What's your favorite color?
For those victimized by this ultimate violence
We now observe a moment of silence

berlin - all for love

Ocean between us
Screaming out demons
I can be so cold
Fight without a reason

Can't explain it
Hardly contain it
Kicking and screaming
Twisting up in the tourniquet
You're factual, you're factual
You know that I'm impractical, impractical

Don't you want to just leave me
After every fight
Even though you're right
Well you know I'm doing it all
'cause you love me
After all this time
Can't believe you're right beside me
And we're doing it all for love
Love love love love
Love love love la la la
Love love love love
Doing it all for love

Drink it to the last drop
Pushing I don't stop
Red in the face, I hate
When you smile
I'm off guard

Makes you hot
Civilized when I'm not
Take me to the bedroom
I like the making up

You're tactical, you're tactical
You know that I'm sexual, I'm sexual

Don't you want to just leave me
After every fight
Even though you're right
Well you know I'm doing it all
'cause you love me
After all this time
Can't believe you're right beside me
And we're doing it all for love
Love love love love
Love love love la la la
Love love love love
Doing it all for love

berlin - city lights

A man walks in through the door
Takes a look as he passes through the wall
On & on electrically & flowing
Backward stance head hung low
Don't you raise your head into the golden flow
Do you dare, do you dare to follow

City Lights will burn your eyes
City Lights will light the skies
City Lights can terrorize

Gazing on in a dream
[?] try to tell you what they mean
[?] in the shadows
still I wonder what could be the matter
is it real or fantasy [?]

City Lights will burn your eyes
City Lights will light the skies
City Lights can terrorize

City Lights will guard the night
like an angel with a flaming sword
A warning to the wild & weak
that even the best things can be so hard

There again the scene unfolds
[?] light it seems so very cold
[?] light of day
all this world will have gently slipped away
disappearing in the sunlight

City Lights will burn your eyes
City Lights will light the skies
City Lights can terrorize

City Lights will guard the night
like an angel with a flaming sword
A warning to the wild & weak
that even the best things can be so hard

berlin - a matter of time

So quickly time will come and time will go
It runs on by
It steals your hopes and dreams and one last chance
You never know

I can see it now
I can feel its scolding hand
Saying come on now you've got to run

You wonder can you stop the hands of time
Erase your fate
He's laughing, knowing that he's got control
Just watch and wait

I can see it now
I can hear the whispered voice
Telling me now you've got no time to waste

It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time

And you've got to see
You have the answer, you have the strength
There's no denying it's in your hands
It's in your hands

It's a matter of time..

Living breathing touching feeling
Hoping dreaming still deceiving
Searching finding losing crying
Know the truth you're dying
Oh you're dying

It's a matter of time..

Remember who you are and what you have
The time is yours
Your flame is burning down so guard it well
It may go out

I can see it now
I can see the end of time
Holding the answers to all your fears

It's a matter of time...

berlin - lost in the crowd

Waiting, waiting lover
Why'd you cry?
I've been waiting
I've been hating you lately, start
Watching you, watching you
With all the ones
Are they all the same?
Are they all the same?
And I know

(I'm lost in the crowd)
Oh, no, whoah (oh)
(I'm lost, then I'm found)
Oh, yeah, oh (oh)

Changing, changing, baby
All the time
I can do without
All the rumors and new lovers
Watching, watching
It's a crying shame
'Cause they all the same
But they're all the same
And I know

(I'm lost in the crowd)
Oh, no, whoah (oh)
(I'm lost, then I'm found)
Oh, yeah, oh (oh)

(I'm lost in the crowd)
Oh, no, whoah (oh)
(I'm lost, then I'm found)
Oh, yeah, oh (oh)

Crying, crying, baby
All the time
'Cause he'll leave you
And then find another girl to use
Watching, watching
While love's gone by
But he wont take me back
He won't take me back
And I know

(I'm lost in the crowd)
Oh, no, whoah (oh)
(I'm lost, then I'm found)
Oh, yeah, oh (oh)

(I'm lost in the crowd)
Oh, no, whoah (oh)
(I'm lost, then I'm found)
Oh, yeah, oh (oh)

berlin - will i ever understand you

Mirror mirror tell me beware
coldly revealing all the faces i wear
from a teasing smile for boys on the street
to a shifty glance for eyes looking too deep

feel the light as it shines so bright
will i ever understand you
reach inside the truth is alive
will i ever understand you
always fighting to find out why
but it seems the answer fades into a white flag sky
feel the light as it shines so bright
will i ever understand you
