(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)
It's rainin' on a summer night
I'm gonna take a ride on a dreamboat

Don't know 'bout it's destination
Higher than the clouds and the angels
Further than a million roads forever away

From the death-patrol

'Cause when I close my eyes, I dream of freedom

And when I open 'em, I see a multitude of good reasons
To get the hell out a here


Tonight I'm breaking out
Tonight I made a vow
That any minute now

I'm gonna climb the wall of freedom on my own
Yeah, tonight I'm full of doubt
Tonight there's no more doubt

That any second now
I'm gonna face a life of treason on my own


I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil runs this whole city

I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity

I'm going home

Tried it all day, lord

Time for me to kick off my working shoes
There's nothin' left to lose
Behind the tired buildings

Places that are haunting me, lie lingering
Beyond the Berlin Wall
I hear it whisper, I can hear it call

At night the sky for my hungry eye, hides a rainbow
Behind the concrete door


Tonight I'm breaking out
Tonight I made a vow
That any minute now

I'm gonna climb the wall of freedom on my own
Yeah, tonight I'm full of doubt
Tonight there's no more doubt

That any second now
I'm gonna face a life of treason on my own


I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil runs this whole city

I hear a shout in the dark
A scream in the alley
It seems like the devil shows me no pity

I'm going home
