There, smoke turns into serpents in the air
Beware, there’s no sanctuary anywhere
On this very spot, a great city once stood
It oozed with evil but it felt so good
Well I don’t know
Where did it go?
And here, there’s lots of method in their madness dear
And we’re considering remaining here
In this very house a giant was born
With two angry eyes and one sharp black horn
Well I don’t know
How could he grow?
The fountains gush wine
The chimneys spurt flowers
Where me and my friends pass the fleeting hours
Well yes and no
Where did they go?
Goodbye, there’s no reason, there’s no alibi
I’ll try to write you a letter from the cyclone’s eye
On this very day, a hundred years before
They opened up the future like it was a door
Well I don’t know
Where did it go?
The towers stretch up, the spires spiral odd
Behind the vicar’s gate, the sign, «Beware of God»
Well I don’t know
Where did he go?
[!+!]Monday Morning
Beyond the city, and evening dust
Dreams and thunder rattle the rust
You had an idea that you won’t have again
She’s forgotten your name and hopes you’ll do the same
Start of the ash, and the end of the flames
Burning you turning you
There was a lifetime spent in the sun
Hundreds of chances, blew every one
Dice rolled, double six, double six, double six
Owner of trouble, flesh blood and bricks
You had an idea that you won’t have again
She’s forgotten your name and hopes you’ll do the same
The start of the ash and the end of the flames
Turning you burning you
Oh monday morning, the cracks become quite clear
Oh monday morning, take me back, leave me hare
Beyond the city, and evening dust
Dreams and thunder rattle the rust
You had an idea that you won’t have again
She’s forgotten your name and hopes you’ll do the same
Start of the ash, and the end of the flames
Burning you turning you around
