East berlin.wav Lyrics by Lookout Mountain

santa barbara starfish lover

2023

It's a long way to East Berlin
It’s a longer way to Winnipeg when you're leaving in the morning
From the Cumberland home where your father was born
He's dead and buried now if you believe it
Grab your guitar and your traveling shoes
A pair of Docs with the laces frayed and too tight on the leather
But if nothing else, at least you’ve got a car that runs
And from time to time it sputters
From time to time it sputters
Fuel up at a truck stop, put some water in the radiator
Bum a cigarettе from an old man with a flower print shirt
And he reminds you of your grandpa who always drovе a Pontiac
And he always looked to you like Richard Belzer
In one town you meet a girl with diamonds on her shoulder
In another there's another one with painted black nails
And little traces of blue in the strands of her hair
And her bed is made of firewood and sulphur
Her bed is made of firewood and sulphur
She buys you a pack of Edward Gorey tarot cards
And reads to you from a leather-bound edition of the bible
With the words of Christ all printed in red
But nothing makes sense to you so you nod your head and tell her that
You've gotta keep going while the sun's still behind you
It's nipping at your heels and leaving red marks all over
Your left arm in the window and the right one on the wheel
And a piece of black paper on the mirror
And a piece of black paper on the mirror
Manitoba peaks out from the hills past your windshield
And your friends all say they plan to meet you laughing
And they'll raise you up and take care of you when you get drunk
But in the end something will be missing
But in the end something will be missing
You think of your father and the way he went down
Think of the last chance he had to see you
And you imagine a time where his head was unbound
And his love for you was uncomplicated
And his love for you was uncomplicated
It's a long way to East Berlin
