Regina Spektor - Düsseldorf lyrics
[Regina Spektor - Düsseldorf lyrics]
In Düsseldorf, I met a clown
His nose, it was red
In Gelterkinden, I forgot to frown
Then remembered again
In Paris, I saw a big fish
Swimming slow in the Seine
It made me hopeful that someday our water
Would be breathable again
In Frankfurt, I heard eins, zwei, drei
Counting cookies and no one was shot
In Berlin, stopped by the Polizei
For drunk driving and everyone smiled
In Prague, I knew I'd been a witch
Burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kit'sch
It made me miss my Moscow muttdom
It made me miss my New York nothing
In Montpellier, I stayed in a chateau
A boy climbed into my bed
And he knew no boundaries
In Amsterdam, I got quite crazy
It might have been all the tulips and canals
Or it might have been all that hash, and in
Barcelona, buenos días, chocolato, la Picasso
And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel
And in London
Me and the French existentialists
In Corsica, I floated away
All the way to Marseille
I should have held an after party for
All the thoughts I didn't say
In Düsseldorf, I met a dwarf
With bad breath and a really good tan
In Gelterkinden, I remembered how to laugh
And I never ever forgot it again
His nose, it was red
In Gelterkinden, I forgot to frown
Then remembered again
In Paris, I saw a big fish
Swimming slow in the Seine
It made me hopeful that someday our water
Would be breathable again
In Frankfurt, I heard eins, zwei, drei
Counting cookies and no one was shot
In Berlin, stopped by the Polizei
For drunk driving and everyone smiled
In Prague, I knew I'd been a witch
Burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kit'sch
It made me miss my Moscow muttdom
It made me miss my New York nothing
In Montpellier, I stayed in a chateau
A boy climbed into my bed
And he knew no boundaries
In Amsterdam, I got quite crazy
It might have been all the tulips and canals
Or it might have been all that hash, and in
Barcelona, buenos días, chocolato, la Picasso
And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel
And in London
Me and the French existentialists
In Corsica, I floated away
All the way to Marseille
I should have held an after party for
All the thoughts I didn't say
In Düsseldorf, I met a dwarf
With bad breath and a really good tan
In Gelterkinden, I remembered how to laugh
And I never ever forgot it again
