The Tiger Lillies - King of Berlin lyrics

You could have been the King of Berlin You could have been the king, Franz, who always wins Each avenue is paved with gold God and Satan bid for your soul You could have been the king, the King of Berlin The light it never dims But you don't know the moves to make That's why your heart never breaks You'll never be the King of Berlin You always lose, you'll never win The lucky boys, they know the tricks They're making money, they're looking slick They play the game, they always win They own the streets, kings of Berlin You're not stupid, you're not dim You'll never be King of Berlin Franz's heart will always break Round every corner failure waits You'll never be the King of Berlin Ha ha.
