Letra Düsseldorf Regina Spektor

Düsseldorf

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 SeineIt made me hopeful
That someday our water will be breathable again In Frankfurt I heard eins zwei drei
Counting cookies and no one was shot
In Berlin stopped by the polizei
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 muttdom
It made me miss my New York nothing In Montpelier I stayed in a château
A boy climbed into my bed
And he 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 PicassoAnd in Brussels, clean-cut hostel
And in London, me and the French existentialists In Corsica I floated away
All the way to MarseillesI 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 never ever forgot it again
