Alphaville - Beethoven lyrics
[Alphaville - Beethoven lyrics]
There's a tremor in the city
But it looks all quiet
There is something awful brewing
But there ain't riots 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
Beethoven, the boots are back in town
When ignorance and fear are
Closing mouths and ears
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
There's a scrawling on a tombstone
Judenschweine raus
Once again the racial fury is
Burning down the house beethoven
There's a bleeding yellow man
Lying in the streets
But there isn't anybody doing anything
Beethoven, the boots are back in town
When ignorance and fear are
Closing mouths and ears
The skins are on their way when
It gets dark in europe
It's just a state of mind
The blind leading the blind
And one grey day shall rise the flood
No dikes will stem the heavy tides
When cold pierced feathered bodies scream
They fall as if the monstrous scythe of
Clouds had smashed them from the sky
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 will
Be replaced at last
There are smarter ones to stay
How can you stay away
From the order of disgrace
How can you close your eyes
Beethoven, the boots are back
But it looks all quiet
There is something awful brewing
But there ain't riots 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
Beethoven, the boots are back in town
When ignorance and fear are
Closing mouths and ears
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
There's a scrawling on a tombstone
Judenschweine raus
Once again the racial fury is
Burning down the house beethoven
There's a bleeding yellow man
Lying in the streets
But there isn't anybody doing anything
Beethoven, the boots are back in town
When ignorance and fear are
Closing mouths and ears
The skins are on their way when
It gets dark in europe
It's just a state of mind
The blind leading the blind
And one grey day shall rise the flood
No dikes will stem the heavy tides
When cold pierced feathered bodies scream
They fall as if the monstrous scythe of
Clouds had smashed them from the sky
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 will
Be replaced at last
There are smarter ones to stay
How can you stay away
From the order of disgrace
How can you close your eyes
Beethoven, the boots are back
