head and shoulders
above all the rest
you climb
to the top of the list
my love
the strain on my shoulders
reminds me of
the night when I
first gazed upon
a face that makes eyes swell
with tears that just won't quell

this
riotous beat of a heart
that
can only feed on the dark
ness of a hell below us
overwrought
tearing apart our every thought
of hope to save one soul
a hope to make me whole again

down from a hundred to one
Count
down from a hundred to one
lord
pray that you bring us a sun tomorrow
out of a wedlock cosmo torn
a place where healing starts
holding a berlin heart
are you fading
don't stop waiting
donors of excitement
in this berlin heart
fight our way to the top
of the list
without
anything but a fistful of a glory
that can only come from
a power that gives and takes us all
don't come for me
I'll come to you
don't come for me
I'm counting
down from a hundred to one
count
down from a hundred to one
count
down from a hundred to one
count
down from a hundred to one
count
down from a hundred to one
