Take a walk through the city

Turn right at Potzdamer Platz

To see a girl on a motorbike

Expression carved on her face

Saw a man in a cafe downtown

Who says it fucks with your head

When you're tryin' to sleep at night

With a gun across your bed



Don't wanna be down at heel

Don't wanna be down at heel

You've shown disgrace on my place

You've gotta know how it feels



Sometimes at night when it's cold outside

It would be easier and sweet

To hack a road through the jungle

Than clear a path down the street

Too many folk in the middle lane

Who don't wanna swerve 'gainst the rails

Apathy balanced with disdain

Dogs chasin' their own tails



Don't wanna be down at heel

Don't wanna be down at heel

You come breakin' down my front door

You've gotta know how it feels



Followed the girl on a motorbike

Saw her enter a bar

It's dark inside with candles burn and

To liberate her scars

She Spanish-dance on the table

With butterflies that burn

It's like an incessant fox-hunt

Too many lessons learned
