ALPHAVILLE - Beethoven lyrics

rate me

There's a tremor in the city but it looks all quiet<br>There is something awful brewing but there ain't riots<br>Beethoven<br>You can read between the lines that there must be more<br>You're alarmed but you don't know what you're waiting for<br>Beethoven<br><br>Beethoven, the boots are back in town<br>When ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears<br>The skins are on their way when it gets dark in europe<br>It's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind<br>Beethoven<br><br>There's a scrawling on a tombstone<br>Judenschweine raus<br>Once again the racial fury is burning down the house<br>Beethoven<br>There's a bleeding yellow man lying in the streets<br>But there isn't anybody doing anything<br><br>Beethoven, the boots are back in town<br>When ignorance and fear are closing mouths and ears<br>The skins are on their way when it gets dark in europe<br>It's just a state of mind, the blind leading the blind<br><br>And one grey day shall rise the flood no dikes will stem the heavy tides<br>When cold pierced feathered bodies scream<br>They fall as if the monstrous scythe of clouds had smashed them from the sky<br>The scattered squadron of mankind stabs right into the churned up ether<br>Of long forgotten birdless flights<br><br>Beethoven, the boots are back in town<br>The demons of the past will be replaced at last<br>There are smarter ones to stay, how can you stay away<br>From the order of disgrace, how can you close your eyes<br>Beethoven, the boots are back....<br><br>Gold/1993
