In a pale blue parka
on the streets of Berlin
she put one hand on his shoulder
and the other beneath his chin
Kommen sie mein herr
kommen sie, come with me
I'll show you diamonds in the mountains
and pearls beneath the sea
the absinthe tastes bitter
and the sugar flame is high
skin so pale and radiant
twisted smile and crazy eye
vanquished that beg to bloom
from the seeds in the furrow
the destitute prepare the banquet
scattered jewels glimmer still
selling wares used and broken
to the untrained eye
between the dreams and illusions
the unfettered sky
In a pale blue Parka
on the streets of Berlin
she put one hand on his shoulder
and the other beneath his chin
kommen sie mein herr
kommen sie, come with me
I'll show you diamonds in the mountains
and pearls beneath the sea
selling wares used and broken
to the untrained eye
between the dreams and illusions
the unfettered sky
on the streets of Berlin
she put one hand on his shoulder
and the other beneath his chin
Kommen sie mein herr
kommen sie, come with me
I'll show you diamonds in the mountains
and pearls beneath the sea
the absinthe tastes bitter
and the sugar flame is high
skin so pale and radiant
twisted smile and crazy eye
vanquished that beg to bloom
from the seeds in the furrow
