lyrics

You were born in Saxony
In 1942
Eighteen: joined the state police
Just as your daddy wanted you to

But three months in Dresden
Was all it took
You had to leave the party early
And never give a second look back

A thousand metal snakes
Writhing on the ground
One looks directly at you
Your head spins round and round and round

Send your guards out on patrol
In separate directions
You say "just take a stroll
And don't stop
Til you reach Moscow"

And so you jump
And when you do you hit the ground running
Straight in that cop car
They don't see it coming
Because you've swapped your loaded gun for an empty one
And when the camera turns to you
You're gone

She finds you in the orchard
Your nurse from Bavaria
Thoughts drive themselves into her mind
As all the motors you built for her

So President Kennedy beckons
A scythe in one hand
Tomorrow's headline in the other

Smash yourself through one side of a concrete mass
And emerge victorious from another
