Alphaville - Beethoven |
Beethoven
Alphaville There's a tremor in the city But it looks so quiet There is something awful brewing But there ain't no fights Beethoven, Beethoven You can read between the lines That there must be more You're alarmed, but you don't know What you're waiting for Beethoven The boots are back in town Are closing mouths and ears When ignorance and fear The skins are on their way When it gets dark in Europe It's just a state of mind The blind leading the blind Beethoven The boots are back Judenschweine raus! Is burning down the house There's a scrawling on a tombstone Once again, the racial fury Beethoven, listen to me, Beethoven There's a bleeding yellow man Lying in the street But there isn't anybody Doing anything Beethoven The boots are back in town... SF Prayer No dikes will stem the heavy tides And one grey day shall rise the flood When cold pierced heavy bodies scream They fall as if the monstrous scythe Of clouds has smashed them from the skies The scattered squadron of mankind Stabs right into the churned up ether Of long forgotten birdless flights Beethoven The boots are back in town... The demons of the past Beethoven The boots are back in town Will be replaced at last How can you stay away There are smarter ones to stay How can you close your eyes? From the order of disgrace Beethoven The boots are back The boots are back |
