but I wouldn't say I'm settled, I just live here. I'm 36, I'm in reasonable shape, I keep the al cohol abuse in its place, I'm extremely pleased with myself.

Which comes as some surprise to me.

and I never knew there WAS a back door.
Verse 7
G#m
I walk over. Stare at it. I'd swear it wasn't there before. But
there it is. And I'm not even sure where it's gonna come out.
So I try it. Turn the handle,
and step out into...
Munich.
Verse 8
G#m
I've stepped right out onto the Grafinger Strasse,
surrounded by crowds of people going shopping, going drinking.
Verse 9
G#m
I don't move. My heart's beating very fast,

I turn around and the
door's still there.
I go back inside,
and yes it's the same bar.
It's the same bar but as I look to my left as I walk through,
there's another door, just like this one.
Verse 12
G#m
I look at the door. I feel like the
door's looking back.
And if the door could smile, this one would have a nasty spiny- toothed sarcastic smile,
from its beaten- up laminated face.
Verse 13
G#m
Gotta do it. Got no choice.
I'll go through.

Verse 14
This is the Shibuya district of Tokyo.
I remember it well.
Taught English here once.
The arab? neon signs became European
neon signs and now Japanese signs.
Same neon, different spirit.
Now two Japanese girls
