FUNERAL IN BERLIN
V1
Marlene kept a suitcase there
Lived the high-life and the low
Foundd herself a brand new home
There was beauty all around
Everything is good here, it's wonderful
When something pretty catches her eye
Chorus
Dancing without a care in the world
Embrace your lovers while you can
The telephone will ring with terrible news
Blackbird singing at the door.
V2
Nightclub has a different vibe
Feels like the end of days
Love is love, that's all she wrote
Cut the cake and eat your fill
The doctor turns the sick away
Who is he to say what's wrong or right?
Write a letter home asking for help
The first line is the hardest draft
V3
Marlene kept a suitcase there
Lived the highlife and the low
Found herself a brand new home
There was beauty all around
Everything was good here, was wonderful
Then something pretty caught her eye
