Marillion - Berlin Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)The mascarad blonde from the berliner barRises at twilight, gets dressed in a dazeBlack leather crackles and cold water runsAs she touches the walls of memory mazeAnd the shadows of men she has known fill her dayShes held half the world in her arms so they sayBut she wakes up without them with a hole in her heartAnd she puts on her clothes lives her life behind barsThe mascarad blonde from the berliner barSighs at the skylight, gets lost in the hazeBlack leader crackles and cold water runsAs she touches the walls of her memory mazeSome one got stranded in no mans landDancing in the spotlight to the sound of clapping handsNobody knows whos side he was onIts a risk that you take in no mans landNobody knows what made him decideTo run for freedom and to certain suicideWhen they turn off the guns and his fingers uncurlHes clutching a photograph of a berlin party girlCome in from your checkpoints on your lonely roadsCome in from your ditches in your silent fieldsWhere intensified light from a rifle sightMakes the darkness dayAnd the day too bright, too brightAnd we wake up without youWe wake up without youWe wake up without youWe wake up without youWith a hole in our heartsYou mad dog shaven head bottle boy freaksIn martens & khaki drunk on sakeYou stare at yourself in the cruel flush of dawnTerrified, sunken eyed, withered and drawnThe butcher, the baker, the munitions makerThe over achiever, the armistice breakerThe free-base instructor, the lightning conductorThe psycho, the sailor, the tanker, the tailorThe black market mailerThe quick an the deadThe spotlight dancerThe quick and the deadThe quick and the deadThe quick and the deadWe wake up without youWe wake up without youWith a hole in our heartsThe mascarad blonde from the berliner barRises at twilight, gets dressed in a daze
