A slam text I wrote about learning German in Berlin.

Ami Deutsch

I can see your frightening
like lightning in my head
There's nothing else to do
let's just go to bed
You can Look don't touch
that's what you say you said
That's right that's right
yeah right you're turnin' red

Got A creep in my pocket got a loser in my hat
A knife in my back I gotta guard against attack
tell me its true or that we're forever through
there's something that I have to from you

Okay Okay

sideshow cars and plastic stars,
a turgid affair,
illuminates the dwindling scars,
they point and stare,

I've been longing for a son like you,
I've been searching for a way out too,
and somebody - somebody's looking for you.


If I find some way out,
Then I will stay,
With heart split two ways down,
Like tears down my face,

We'll find our way out,
Without a map just our hearts,
And when we get out,
We'll topple your house of cards,
