Begin to Hope

In Dusseldorf 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 Siene
 It made me hopeful that someday our water
 Would 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 chateau
 A boy climbed into my bed and he knew no boundaries
 In Amsterdam I got quite crazy
 It might have been all the tulips and canals
 Or it might have been all that hash, and in
 Barcelon, buenos dias, chocolato, le Picasso
 And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel
 And in London, me and the French existentialists...


 In Corsica I floated away, all the way to Marseilles
 I should have held an after party for all the thoughts I didn't say
 In Dusseldorf I met a dwarf
 With bad breath and a really good tan
 In Gelterkinden I remembered how to laugh
 And I never ever forgot it again
