Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know I loved you then
I think I love you still
But this prophecy of ours
Has come back dressed to kill
[Verse 2]
Three stones on a mountain
Three small holes in a field
You’ve given me the big dream
But you can’t make it real
[Verse 3]
O, wicked world
Just think what could have been
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
[Verse 4]
All I do is lose but baby
All I want’s to win
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
[Verse 5]
A hundred years or more
It feels like such a dream
An endless conversation
Since 1917
[Verse 6]
Now the battery is too hot
It’s burnin' up in its tray
Young marriages are meltin'
And dyin' where they lay
[Verse 7]
O, wicked world
Just think what could have been
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
[Verse 8]
All I do is lose but baby
All I want’s to win
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
[Verse 9]
Our tongues will fall so still
Our teeth will all decay
A minute feels much longer
With nothing left to say
[Verse 10]
So let them win the battle
But don’t let them restart
That genocidal feelin'
That beats in every heart
[Verse 11]
O, wicked world
Just think what could have been
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
[Verse 12]
All I do is lose but baby
All I want’s to win
Jerusalem, New York, Berlin
