This song was written about Gabriel's travels from NYC to Berlin and how he'll never get used to the newness he found in Berlin. It's a song about not taking things for granted. And a tribute to mastery of music that Prince Rogers Nelson bestowed on the world. Long live Prince!
From the look in your eyes
I see the color of sky
And all the times we talked about doing the things that we did
It was a magic time
You and me exchanged signs
And all the ways we added to
Sound and the colors of the skylines
We can fly!
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
I went from New York City
Right here to Berlin baby
Just to look at all I went through
And see it all core to core
I heard the call
And we went down to the crystal ball
It's time to walk through the door
And that's for sure
I know...
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, ever get used to it
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
Ever since I’ve known you
You were the brightest of 'em all
Of all the multiplicity and earthly and heavenly bodies
It was early in the fall
With the foliage on fire
I remember distinctly to state that you
Wore a light colored cape to the party
I just
I don't think that I'll get used to it...
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
You wore a white ermine coat
We went from coast to coast
Just to see what we could be and
To live and to truly discover
Then quite suddenly
It fell right down upon me
This feeling that I'll always hold dear
In my heart forever
Oh I think I'll
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
All the times I think I might stop now
Never Ever, never ever, never ever
Never, never get used to it
