Marillion - White Russian Lyrics
(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)Where do we go from here?Where do we go from here, where do we go from hereWhere do we go from here, where do we go from hereThey boarded up the synagogues uzis on a street cornerYou can't take a photograph of uzis on a street cornerThe dj resigned today they wouldn't let him have his saySurface scratched where the needles play, uzis on a street cornerWhere do we go from hereTerror in rue de st. denis, murder on the peripherySomeone else in someone else's pocket, christ knows i don't know how to stop itPoppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can't afford to laughI heard in on the telegraph there's uzis on a street cornerWhere do we go from here, where do we go from hereThe more i see, the more i hear, the more i find fewer answersI close my mind, i shout it out but you know it's getting harderTo me calm down, to reason out, to come to terms with what it's all aboutI'm uptight, can't sleep at night, i can't pretend everything's alrightMy ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting meBut to stand up and fight i know we have six million reasonsThey're burning down the synagogues uzis on a street cornerThe heralds of the holocaust uzis on a street cornerThe silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vowsThis resurrection we can't allow, uzis on a street cornerWhere do we go from here, where do we go from hereWe buy fresh bagels from the corner storeWhere swastikas are spat from aerosolsI sit in the bar sipping iced white russianTrying to score but nobody's pushingAnd everyone looks at everyone's facesSearching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residenceAre we sitting on a barbed wire fenceRacing the clouds home, racing the clouds homeWe place our faith in human rightsIn the paper wars that tie the red tape tightI know that i would rather be out of this conspiracyIn the gulags and internment camps frozen faces in nameless ranksI know that they would rather be standing here beside meRacing the clouds home, racing the clouds homeYou can shut your eyes, you can hide it away it's gonna come back another dayRacing the clouds home, are we racing the clouds homeRacing the clouds home
