Bertha with a Crooked Foot

from Factory Seconds by Marc Schuster

/

about

Based on a German legend.

lyrics

Spinning in the moonlight, dancing in the dark,
Bertha with a crooked foot like a question mark,
Crying out in hunger, crying with delight,
Creeping through the shadows and hiding from the light…

The hiss of gas, the rush of flame,
Another cup of tea
Give me time to figure out
Who I want to be.
A quiet night to disconnect.
A little room to breathe.
Give me time to figure out
What I want to believe.

Bertha with a crooked foot, spinning door to door,
Tapping glass and picking locks and wondering what they’re for.
Peeking into your life, peeking into mine,
Lost in fascination with how we waste our time.

The hiss of gas, the rush of flame,
Another cup of tea
Give me time to figure out
Who I want to be.
A quiet night to disconnect.
A little room to breathe.
Give me time to figure out
What I want to believe.

A cold and gray December night, another cup of tea,
I get a funny feeling someone’s watching me,
Peeking in my window, curious and kind.
Bertha with a crooked foot, dirty and divine.

The hiss of gas, the rush of flame,
Another cup of tea
Give me time to figure out
Who I want to be.
A quiet night to disconnect.
A little room to breathe.
Give me time to figure out
What I want to believe.
