Pandoras Lullaby — текст песни (Alphaville)

So you hugged the globe

Now its whirling too fast

I really got no hope to hang on to the past

The train has departed, the toxins have started

To announce that none will last



I cower in the gutter of a world thats not so near

And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air

The words unspoken, the promises broken

And the ones who really care



Im the watcher of the scene

I see our shadows on the screen

And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee

I stop to breathe for a while

Maybe it was me



This is the world gliding by

Like the driftwood beams

On a lifetimes stream

The instant fundamental sky for pandoras lullaby



I see distorted faces coined like gold

And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told

A watermark against a spark

Umbrellas that they hold



Im gliding in the distance and watch the world go by

An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky

But I just sit and wonder a bit that they never wonder why
