KREUZBERG

There is a wall

That runs right through me

Just like this city

I will never be joined

What is this love?

Why can I never hold it?

Did it really run out

In those strangers' bedrooms?

 

I

I have decided

At twenty-five

That something must change

 

Saturday night in east Berlin

We took the U-Bahn

To the East Side Gallery

I was sure I'd found love

With this one lying with me

Crying again

In the Hauptbahnhof

 

I

I have decided

At twenty-five

That something must change

 

After sex

The bitter taste

Been fooled again

The search continues

 

After sex

The bitter taste

Been fooled again

The search continues

 

After sex

(Concerned mothers…)

The bitter taste

Been fooled again

(…of the west)

The search continues

 

After sex

(Teach your sons…)

The bitter taste

Been fooled again

(…how to truly love)

The search continues
