Peter Cincotti Graffiti Wall lyrics

It's just about dawn
and the colors have gone
to a concrete gunshot grey
Strobe lights flash
And blind our eyes
Walkin' into a cheap café

It's about skin
Needles and pins
And gettin' yourself a taste
I'm looking at her
Through a Stoli blur
And thinkin' "Aw, what a waste"

Oh, Oh,
I hope you know the way back home

Bring me down before I fall
I've danced this high graffiti wall
So long it feels I've been up here forever
Touch my face and blow away
This fever-whisper when you say,
"It's you and me against the world together"

That money machine
That river of green
Has seen its better days
Honey leg girls
Kick and twirl
'Cause there's always somebody who pays

The poetry of poverty
Won't give up without a fight

To tell you the truth
All I'm trying to do
Is get through another night

Oh, Oh,
I want you more than ever right now

Bring me down before I fall
I've danced this high graffiti wall
So long it feels I've been up here forever

Touch my face and blow away
This fever-whisper when you say,
"It's you and me against the world together"

If you are looking for an exit sign
Or just a door don't waste your time
They built it wide, they built it tall
Graffiti wall's impossible to climb

Oh, oh,
Get me out of this Berlin

Bring me down before I fall
I've danced this high graffiti wall
So long it feels I've been up here forever

Touch my face and blow away
This fever-whisper when you say,
"It's you and me against the world together"
