(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
2
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
3
Rises at twilight, gets dressed in a daze
4
Black leather crackles and cold water runs
5
As she touches the walls of memory maze
6
And the shadows of men she has known fill her day
7
She's held half the world in her arms so they say
8
But she wakes up without them with a hole in her heart
9
And she puts on her clothes lives her life behind bars
10
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
11
Sighs at the skylight, gets lost in the haze
12
Black leader crackles and cold water runs
13
As she touches the walls of her memory maze
14
Some one got stranded in no man's land
15
Dancing in the spotlight to the sound of clapping hands
16
Nobody knows who's side he was on
17
It's a risk that you take in no man's land
18
Nobody knows what made him decide
19
To run for freedom and to certain suicide
20
When they turn off the guns and his fingers uncurl
21
He's clutching a photograph of a Berlin party girl
22
Come in from your checkpoints on your lonely roads
23
Come in from your ditches in your silent fields
24
Where intensified light from a rifle sight
25
Makes the darkness day
26
And the day too bright, too bright
27
And we wake up without you
28
We wake up without you
29
We wake up without you
30
We wake up without you
31
With a hole in our hearts
32
You mad dog shaven head bottle boy freaks
33
In Martens & khaki drunk on sake
34
You stare at yourself in the cruel flush of dawn
35
Terrified, sunken eyed, withered and drawn
36
The butcher, the baker, the munitions maker
37
The over achiever, the armistice breaker
38
The free-base instructor, the lightning conductor
39
The psycho, the sailor, the tanker, the tailor
40
The black market mailer
41
The quick an the dead
42
The spotlight dancer
43
The quick and the dead
44
The quick and the dead
45
The quick and the dead
46
We wake up without you
47
We wake up without you
48
With a hole in our hearts
49
The mascara'd blonde from the Berliner bar
50
Rises at twilight, gets dressed in a daze
