Cassiopeia

[Verse 1]
I blacked out ‘til the morning broke
I was swallowing glass and inhaling smoke
I lost my mind in a haze of cobbled streets and broken windows

I managed to get away
For a minute or two, to catch my breath
Just long enough to catch sight of a man
With a broken nose and a bandaged leg

Sleeping silently in a photo booth
On the road where I caught a cab
Back through the heart of the tourist district
And into our rundown, rented pad, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I met a strange girl from Brazil
She made me laugh for an hour or two
And it took me back to the festival
When I was sure that I was gonna go
But then I bought a beer from a nice bar lady
With the kindest eyes that I’d ever seen
She said, “take a water, too, honey, it’s warm outside
We don’t want you dying, do we?”

[Chorus]
Oh Berlin my love
I’ve got you underneath my skin
In the early hours of the morning
I can’t help but let you in

Oh Berlin my love
I’ve got you underneath my skin
In the early hours of the morning
I can’t help but let you win

[Verse 2]
I was there talking to you
About some of the shit they’d put you through
And I knew that this could be my chance to get you closer

So I met you round the back
Away from the others
I was trying to fight off my brother
And I knew, I knew that you didn’t have eyes for me…

[Chorus]
Oh Berlin my love
I’ve got you underneath my skin
In the early hours of the morning
I can’t help but let you in

Oh Berlin my love
I’ve got you underneath my skin
In the early hours of the morning
I can’t help but let you win

[Outro]
I’ve got a fire and it burns in me
It takes me back to the very day I was with you there
I’ve got a fire
And I knew back then it was clear to see that I was running scared

I’ve got a fire and it burns in me
It takes me back to the very day I was with you there
With you there
I’ve got a fire and it burns in me
I knew back then it was clear to see
I got a fire and it burns in me
And it burns in me

I got a fire and it burns in me
Takes me back to the very day
I got a fire and it burns in me

I got a fire and it burns in me
Takes me back to the very day
I got a fire and it burns in me
Takes me back to the day that I was with you there
