You got foreign lovers

You got their pictures up on your walls

Because that thing in Berlin wasn't anyone's fault

You got foreign lovers

To take the pictures and rip them up

No better feeling to know about

When there's no one to follow home

And no it wasn't that we weren't friends

Anyway, in Berlin, you never had a dumb chance

I got no idea what's fair
