lyrics
I don't want you to tell me I'm a fool
If I want to break the golden rule
'Cause my back's to the wall and I'm not used to sleeping alone
If you want to say I'm a stranger, well, then go on
I've got my mind in a teacup in Berlin
Where all my time was spent without my friends
'Cause I love where the streets are people with bottles in hands
And if you want to say that I'm crazy, I'd understand
I've got a glass of water near my bed
But I'll drink your body there instead
I've got my stack of books and my big black boots
I swear that they picked me - I didn't really choose
We'll take a trip
To the land we all came from
Though I must admit
It probably will be tough
To know that you missed something that might have kept you alive
And the ones the you loved didn't get enough of your time
I've got another picture in my hand
That shows me now to every thing I am
I hope you know I meant just what I said
Of everything I saw, you were the best
My heart is moving faster than the time
But I am moving slower in my mind
'Cause it is stuck with you in late July
Under your little window, in your eyes
When I said that I knew, and you said you did too
I thought that I found somebody who
Wanted for me what I wanted for them
Instead what I got was not even a friend
I want you to see what you're doing to me
I want you to be what you wanted to be
But I can't be alive for anymore time
If what I will get won't ever be right
And it will never be right with you
It will never be right with you
It will never be right with you
If I want to break the golden rule
'Cause my back's to the wall and I'm not used to sleeping alone
If you want to say I'm a stranger, well, then go on
I've got my mind in a teacup in Berlin
Where all my time was spent without my friends
'Cause I love where the streets are people with bottles in hands
And if you want to say that I'm crazy, I'd understand
I've got a glass of water near my bed
But I'll drink your body there instead
I've got my stack of books and my big black boots
I swear that they picked me - I didn't really choose
We'll take a trip
To the land we all came from
Though I must admit
It probably will be tough
To know that you missed something that might have kept you alive
And the ones the you loved didn't get enough of your time
I've got another picture in my hand
That shows me now to every thing I am
I hope you know I meant just what I said
Of everything I saw, you were the best
My heart is moving faster than the time
But I am moving slower in my mind
'Cause it is stuck with you in late July
Under your little window, in your eyes
When I said that I knew, and you said you did too
I thought that I found somebody who
Wanted for me what I wanted for them
Instead what I got was not even a friend
I want you to see what you're doing to me
I want you to be what you wanted to be
But I can't be alive for anymore time
If what I will get won't ever be right
And it will never be right with you
It will never be right with you
It will never be right with you
