And in that wild berlin winter I twirled ghosts through the frozen, concrete streets Out of bohemian jungles in the midnight afternoon I returned to the States with terrible ennui Slumped on cold buses I flew through Hamburg in an ***** haze Smoking joints in the lantern lit glow of Amsterdam I didn’t eat for 3 days I rode the train to Zoo Station And flitted about East Berlin Where there was no excitement to be had Walking the night alone in the bitter, biting wind I took the ferry over to England Safe in the Mersey’s mystical, dreary mist I hid my tired eyes under my fisherman’s cap And found an expanse of quiet, precious bliss Ailing from nights spent on streets and stranger’s floors I was a child, traveling alone Disenchanted by my youthful escapades, Cured of the plaguing desire to ramble and roam.
