Janis Ian - Berlin Lyrics

Janis Ian Lyrics

"Berlin"

I was walking down a wrong way street
I was feeling like a refugee
Berlin
Got shot by an old man's eyes
Got pinned like a butterfly
Berlin

This should have been a happy love song
This should have been a sappy song for you
This should have been a happy love song

Saw a woman on a bridge last night
She was standing on the edge of life
Berlin
I was deafened by the anxious crowd
They were yelling jump right
Now

This should have been a happy love song
This should have been a sappy song for you

There's a lady laying in my bed
Angel flying overhead
Berlin
There's a needle laying on the floor
And a letter saying
Please no more

This should have been a happy love song
This should have been a sappy song for you
This should have been a happy love song
