Take a trip take a ride
Through Darktown don't be shy Gather by the clocktower take your seats Glad you're here it's for keeps Festering wounds from years gone by Toxic waste you buried inside In Darktown Take a turn step on down Through an alleyway you'll find By the backstreet trash resides The underworld you tried to hide And from a dark corner where walls loom high You'll hear the sound of a small child's cry In Darktown Legions of hate schools of fear Proudly accomplished their mission here A hidden agenda behind the eyes For the gifted ones they most despised They couldn't do it in the X-rated world But presided over the boys and girls In Darktown It's all on camera it's all on film On the couch in the shower The stains are there still Drink to the ones who dished out the marks Rabid animals right from the start It's happy hour shut the beasts away Come along children it's time to play In Darktown |

We'll sit and watch the sun go down
See the waves wash to and fro The world runs by sailboat slow We'll anchor at the sight of land Never doing all the things we planned The sun sinks down way below You pushed a man overboard In the middle of a stormy sea The wind blows high the palm trees moan I think about you night and day I'm sorry when I hear you say The coast is clear we'll head for home |

12 years old in Amsterdam in 1939
A blue-eyed boy my clean complexion always got me by A boy with real potential sold secrets by the score Where refugees were hiding I'd just point out the doors In the golden age of steam I learned those German songs I had to stay alive there was no right or wrong In the golden age of steam The fatherland was rising the world would hear the roar Both sides fed and trusted me in 1944 Trains ran on time those days oiling the machine Smoke rose up like serpents I was barely seventeen In the golden age of steam It's over now but not somehow I was a hero then to many men Switzerland was a short ride for an eager blond haired boy With a silver smile and loaded with jewellery to enjoy Maybe one day they'll come for me they'll take me from my bed A soldier of fortune that's what my passport read In the golden age of steam |

When I wasn't looking I found you
And the nights they don't seem so long There are moments when I just can't believe That I've waited so long So take me and love me don't ever let me go Oh take me and hold me you know I want you so Cause you're so precious like the days of long ago And I feel now that I can make it Like the sunshine of a new day All these times of so much confusion feel them drifting away Feel them drifting away So take me and love me don't ever let me go Yeah take me and hold me you know I love you so Cause you're so precious like the days of long ago |

A rainy drive on a long straight highway
Can cause time to lose it's meaning And the mind to wander far from the act of driving Interruptions at every curve no longer jangle against your nerves A rainbow bridge is not far away Now you're standing on the steps of a fountain On a hot summer's day Running along a tree-lined pathway Slowing your pace until you feel Your heart beats in rhythm to the first light of day Now you're running down a mountain In the cool blue shade A waterfall where you lift your head Colours cascade from green to red And the fireflies that dance when the light is fading You drift away on the night ride With eyes that dream as much as they see The wind in the willows winding through the grass The drawbridge of consciousness is lifted at last Where are you going? |

Take me where the sun don't shine no more
And the moon echoes where once was light The wind is howling but it has no face I know that we will rise again We will fly from this city of the dead Even if our ship flies a pirate sail Underneath a bruised and broken sky I know that we will rise again There are skies of scarlet and skies of grey I'll keep them in my heart always Like the sea loves the land I know that we will rise again |

For someone else the blues and greens
The dreaming spires the skin-tight jeans The armchair armies on the march The transfer unit tube and mask Who needs all the endless lies That serve to keep the world alive To taste the sweetness of the grave And not regret mistakes I’ve made In memoriam Goodbye to all the angry dawns Committee meetings pistols drawn You can keep the rave reviews The priests the guards the prisons and zoos Goodbye to all the nation’s pride Farewell to those all choosing a side In hut number twelve they’re issuing guns But only for the chosen ones In memoriam |
