Alphaville - Beethoven Lyrics
Theres a tremor in the city but it looks all quietThere is something awful brewing but there aint riotsBeethovenYou can read between the lines that there must be moreYoure alarmed but you dont know what youre waiting forBeethovenBeethoven, the boots are back in townWhen ignorance and fear are closing mouths and earsThe skins are on their way when it gets dark in europeIts just a state of mind, the blind leading the blindBeethovenTheres a scrawling on a tombstoneJudenschweine rausOnce again the racial fury is burning down the houseBeethovenTheres a bleeding yellow man lying in the streetsBut there isnt anybody doing anythingBeethoven, the boots are back in townWhen ignorance and fear are closing mouths and earsThe skins are on their way when it gets dark in europeIts just a state of mind, the blind leading the blindAnd one grey day shall rise the flood no dikes will stem the heavy tidesWhen cold pierced feathered bodies screamThey fall as if the monstrous scythe of clouds had smashed them from the skyThe scattered squadron of mankind stabs right into the churned up etherOf long forgotten birdless flightsBeethoven, the boots are back in townThe demons of the past will be replaced at lastThere are smarter ones to stay, how can you stay awayFrom the order of disgrace, how can you close your eyesBeethoven, the boots are back....Gold/1993
