Lyrics
I don't want to holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
'Cause now I got a reasonable economy

Oh now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
And I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
To be waiting
The Berlin wall

In Sensurround sound in a two inch wall
Well I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine
And I got world war three
I'm looking over the wall
And they're looking at me

Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
And I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
To be waiting
The Berlin wall

They're staring all night
And they're staring all day
I had no reason to be here at all
Oh now I got a reason, it's no real reason
And I'm waiting at Berlin wall
I gotta go over the Berlin wall
I don't understand it
I'm gonna go over and over the Berlin wall
I gotta go over the Berlin wall
I'm gonna go over the Berlin wall

Claustrophobia yeah, there's too much paranoia
There's too many closets
I went in before
And now I got a reason
It's no real reason to be waiting
The Berlin wall

I gotta go over the wall
I don't understand this bit at all
This third rate B movie show
Cheap dialogue, cheap essential scenery

I gotta go over the wall
I wanna go on the Berlin wall, before them
Come over the Berlin Wall
I don't understand this bit at all
I gotta go on the wall
I wanna go on the Berlin wall
I gotta go over the Berlin wall, before them
Come over to the Berlin Wall
I don't understand this bit at all
Please don't be waiting for me
