Here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of Birkenau
And I recall in spring the perfume that the air would bring
To the indolent town

Where the barkers call the moon down
The carnival is ringing loudly now
And just to lay with you there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Save lay my rifle down

And try one
And try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright
It's OK
Guess it's better to turn this way

And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dreamt I was an architect
And I built this balustrade to keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world

But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet, this structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go

And try one
And try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright
Okay
Guess it's better to turn this way

And here in Spain I am a Spaniard
I will be buried with my marionettes
Countess and courtesan will fall 'neath my tender hand
When their husbands were not around
But you, my soiled teenage girlfriend
Or are you furrowed like a lioness
And we are vagabonds, we travel without seatbelts on
We live this close to death

And try one
And try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright
It's OK
Guess it's better to turn this
But I won
So you lose
Guess it always comes down to
Alright
It's OK
Guess it's better to turn this way
