Dusseldorf Lyrics

Dusseldorf lyrics

In Düsseldorf I met a clown

His nose, it was red

In Gelterkinden I forgot to frown

Then remembered again



In Paris I saw a big fish

Swimming slow in the Seine

It made me hopeful that someday our water

Will be breathable again



In Frankfurt I heard ein zwei drei

Counting cookies and no one was shot

In Berlin stopped by the polizai

For drunk driving and everyone smiled



In Prague I knew I'd been a witch

Burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kitsch

It made me miss my Moscow mother

It made me miss my New York nothing



In Montpelier I stayed in a château

A boy climbed into my bed and knew no boundaries

And in Amsterdam I got quite crazy

Might have been all the tulips and canals

Or it might have been all that hash, and in



Barcelona, buenos dias

Chocolate, le Picasso

And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel

And in London, me and the French existentialists



In Corsica I floated away

All the way to Marseilles

I should have held an after-party

For all the thoughts I didn't say



In Düsseldorf I met a dwarf

With bad breath and a really good tan

In Gelterkinden I remembered how to laugh

And I never ever forgot it again
