Berlin Beat

Once

Living life was just a hungry mouth to feed

West was west, and east was just a dead-end street

Berlin beat

Once

Once

Uniforms were heaven sent and glory bound

Do you prefer the front or shall I turn around?

Shaky grounds

But all that counts

Is what you see in me

I am a woman

You are a man

You're not supposed to understand

Go on and take me

Take me as I am

But think of me

Think of me

Once

Caught between the shadow dancing of the day

And the sweltering charm of midnight cabaret

Straight or gay

Come what may

You'll find out who I am

I am a woman

And you are a man

You're not supposed to understand

Go on and take me

I know I turn you on

Take advantage of a friend

When all is said and done

You know

It doesn't matter just how many walls will fall

Falling bricks will never bring a change at all

Divided souls are we

So put your trust in me

I am a woman

And you are a man

Why is that so hard to understand?

Go on and take me

Take advantage of a friend

But think of me

When all is said and done

Go on and take me

I know I turn you on

But think of me

When all is said and done
