In the Blue Hour in Berlin

The Ferris wheel in winter
Looming large and still
Forlorn yet expectant
It's empty cars to fill

The fog it shrouds the tower
And this candle is my twin
As it flickers out and gutters
In the blue hour in Berlin

But the cabaret is calling
As the night life comes awake
I hit the U-Bahn and head out
This doom n' gloom to shake

Met an angel at the station
On the southwest side
So pretty it was painful
My admiration hard to hide

She gave me good directions
Back to Oskar-Helene-Heim
Thеre to catch the last train
On the Nollеndorfplatz line

Now I'm conjuring her visage
A butterfly to pin
Playing "coulda, woulda, shoulda"
In the blue hour in Berlin

But das cabaret is calling
As the night life comes awake
I hit the U-Bahn and head out
This doom n' gloom to shake

The cabaret is calling
As the night life comes awake
I take the U-Bahn and head out
This doom n' gloom to shake

Met a willing choking victim
In the crucible of sin
She placed my hand around her throat
Said, "Do it!" and leaned in

Her cold eyes misted over
As the oxygen grew thin
She said, "You must catch me when I go"
In the blue hour in Berlin

This city's full of beauties
But much to my chagrin
They disappear like phantoms
So, cue that sad violin

Yeah, I'll miss 'em all forever
Like IV heroin
Withheld from a junky
In the blue hour in Berlin

The blue hour in Berlin
The blue hour in Berlin
The blue hour in Berlin
The blue hour in Berlin

The blue hour in Berlin
The blue hour in Berlin
The blue hour in Berlin
The blue hour in Berlin
