Lily Marlene was her name, br her voice a mix of love and smoke. br Me drawn to her like moths to flame br out on the sidewalk drunk and broke. br Just in the nick of time the bell br of the Charlottenburg town crier br alerted me, I rushed to tell br my love to her, but then the fire br of busted gas mains had involved br the Pub and all the people in it, br they were, like me, so soon engulfed br to die, it took just one long minute.
