Info Text ist aus der Feder von Bernd, die Musik von Micha. Das Lied beschreibt unsere Eindrücke nach unserem ersten Konzert in Frankfurt/Oder, kurz nach der Wende. Jetzt, aus der zeitlichen Distanz heraus, wirkt die Geschichte vielleicht etwas nostalgisch, denn es wurden unlängst bereits 25 Jahre Mauerfall gefeiert ...

Broken windows crumbled walls
Faded curtains and closed down stores
There's an icy wind that roams the streets
Freezing on every face that I meet

But there's a place where we will meet:

And we're gonna dance in this city of ruins
Sing our song to this city of ruins
Let me see you smile baby hold me tight
So let's dance together in this city tonight

You rang the bell the bell of freedom and peace
rang the bell they just called the police
you got cornered and they locked you up
ring it out loud they couldn't make you stop

You tore down the curtain grew your hair
fire out your wild 'n raging songs against any kind of war

We're gonna dance in this city of ruins
Sing our song to this city of ruins
Let me see you smile baby hold me tight
So let's dance together in this city tonight

We are dancing in this city of ruins
Sing this song to the city of ruins
Wanna make you see like a little child
'Cause behind these walls there's a heart still beating wild
