Friedrichstrasse

lyrics

I’ve got the microfilm
Of the factory
The police might know
To look for me

I’m caught up
Just by chance
I met a girl who said that she was from France

The streets are wet and dark
Not a soul in sight
All the clubs are closed
Nothing to do at night

Has this been
A big mistake?
Someone’s bound to report me
How long will this-

Take me to the west
Because the truest heart beats in my chest

I grew to believe
They were fooling us
This regime is wrong
In everything it does

She caught my eye
With her smile
Oh Monique, what I’ve done does not get a trial

I have yet to learn
To overcome my fears
All the streets have eyes
And every wall has ears

My body has
Begun to shake
Someone’s bound to report me
How long will this-

Take me to the west
Because the freest heart beats in my chest

I can call it off
I can turn around
Yes, I’ll burn this film
But wait a sound

Too dark to see
Who could it be?
Once they’re here I’ll know, thank God, I’ll know finally
