Lyrics - The Distillers Album - The Blackest Years

Oh Berlin, your heart has been drawn and quartered again
Oh, the East and the West were divided by a wall that staunched their freedom
Well the wall came down in 1989,
But it’s ghost still refuses to leave
These hauntings are so reputative
There’s a bit of you in me

Let's go!

Oh Berlin, your life's on fire,
Burns deep within this heart of mine
You got astronamical, economical, suffering for a century
And when the ocean swells that day
I'll get on my ship and I'll sail away
On this ship, on this ship, on this ship

And when you're all alone, don't forget me
And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you
And when you're all alone, don't forget me
‘Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
But I did not know until you turned you’re back
I'm in the blackest years of my life
But I did not know until you said goodbye
Goodbye!

Oh Berlin, your witness stands her
On this citys hamed kinda day
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home

And when you're all alone, don't forget me
And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you
And when you're all alone, don't forget me
‘Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
But I did not know until you turned your back
I'm in the blackest years of my life
But I did not know until you said goodbye
Goodbye!
