Berlin

New york to los angeles
Seeing as I'm from kansas
You might think that would be enough for me

But I found LA rather simple
And its ways too provincial
For a girl in this age of possibility

Berlin, berlin
I kinda like the sound of it
Berlin, berlin
Your lulu's coming

I should leave this joyless street
Pack up my beaux features
And dancer's frame, black laquer bangs, oil sheen

And when I get back to the states
I just hope I'm not too late
To see my name up on the marquee

Berlin, berlin
I kinda like the sound of it
Berlin, berlin
Your lulu's coming

Because the bastards like to keep you guessing
Like to teach you little lessons
To let you know who's in control and who's not

I never liked to play their game
I don't appreciate being made
To moon and fawn over some damn job I don't want

Berlin, berlin
I kinda like the sound of it
Berlin, berlin
Your lulu's coming
