verse 
G                  Bb                 Eb           riff twice 
Intoxicated by the orchids abandoned in the garden 
Demanding morphine curse my soul is burning 
Standing in the sweet wonderings breathing the pale moon silver 
Torn painted lips tasting the last drops of life 
 
Chorus 
G                     Bb        G             Bb       riff 
Sometimes I feel like screaming Sometimes I feel I just can't win 
Sometimes I feel my soul is as restless as the wind 
G             Bb      G 
Maybe I was born to die in Berlin 
riff x4 
 
second verse 
I sprinkled cocaine on the floor when no one was watching 
I closed my eyes and let myself sleep 
Creeps and dirty bastards demons waiting by my bed 
There's no choice or difference no one seems to notice
