| I’m stumblin' down
|
| Schönhauser Allee
|
| I’m mumblin'
|
| About my memories
|
| I drank a room full of liquor
|
| That took me back
|
| Rubbed the belly of a bottle
|
| And a genie attacked, he said
|
| «You gotta know who you are
|
| Before you know who you gonna be»
|
| I said, «I wish that I did, man
|
| 'Cause nobody knows me.»
|
| I got a couple of friends
|
| From around the kiez and
|
| A bar that I hate
|
| But I go there every week
|
| I’m takin' a trip down a precarious street
|
| This ain’t the Sunset Strip
|
| It’s Schönhauser Allee
|
| Trying to get a grip on my chattering teeth
|
| This ain’t Hollywood Boulevard
|
| It’s Schönhauser Allee
|
| I’m gonna see where it leads
|
| There’s a party in a gutter
|
| And an art show in a parking lot
|
| Women in bunkers
|
| And men in sex shops
|
| There’s a barber and a butcher
|
| And a baker too
|
| They got metal in their faces
|
| And jailhouse tattoos
|
| I see a waitress from the place
|
| We call the Temple of Doom
|
| She’s serving up a powder
|
| That makes your heart go boom
|
| I’m yelling at a poet
|
| I’m proposing to a girl
|
| I’m banging my head
|
| How did I end up in this world?
|
| I’m finding it hard to even speak
|
| This ain’t the Sunset Strip
|
| It’s Schönhauser Allee
|
| Falling in love with the guy next to me
|
| This ain’t Hollywood Boulevard
|
| It’s Schönhauser Allee
|
| I’m gonna see where it leads
|
| I’m swashbucklin' down
|
| That goddamn street
|
| Parading through town with
|
| A knife in my teeth
|
| I used to be a coward
|
| But I ain’t timid no more
|
| I spend all my time
|
| With Ukrainian whores
|
| I’m taming a Leo
|
| Giving everyone pause
|
| People say that I look like
|
| That shark from Jaws
|
| Nobody can stop me
|
| Nobody dares try
|
| I’m the master of space
|
| But I’m running out of time
|
| I just tripped over a Christmas tree
|
| This ain’t the Sunset Strip
|
| It’s Schönhauser Allee
|
| I’m losing my grip on reality
|
| This ain’t Hollywood Boulevard
|
| It’s Schönhauser Allee
|
| I’m gonna see where it leads |
