On the balcony on the 20th floor of the hotel,
my glass is almost empty and outside it'll be light soon,
Paris, you are on your knees,
I think of Michelle but tonight she's loving him
somewhere in Berlin
And the devil looks over my shoulder
and he whispers softly in my ear
The stairs to heaven are too thorny and steep
and brother - you'll never stand before them
It may be that this game went too far, I risked too much
And now I''m presented with the blame
An image dances before my eyes
Tonight you lie with him on your French bed
in Berlin
And the devil looks over my shoulder
and he whispers softly in my ear
The stairs to heaven are too thorny and steep
and brother - you'll never stand before them
They say that up there is a star for each of us
I would like to know if the one I like is still free
I throw your Egyptian ring
into the neon sea and follow it with a few curses
And the devil looks over my shoulder
and he whispers softly in my ear
The stairs to heaven are too thorny and steep
and brother - you'll never stand before them
I was never one of the hunters, I was more a soft rebel
with hardhitting tricks I was never very quick
and today a star calls me
Come to me, there you find peace and I close my eyes,
and I go to it tiredly
I close my eyes and go to it
