lyrics
Greetings from Twilight Bldv.
We put a bunch of flowers into our rifles
And took off our masks.
History tells about icons,
leaders, armies and tanks.
'Cos we have a dream like Fitzcarraldo’s.
'Cos Stock Exchange has won.
No Koran or Bible can tell us
what’s fair and what’s not.
When a weak voice begins to croon
Inside your head, don’t hush it up.
"There’s nothing you can change but you".
That’s what it says.
Dear Billy Budd, they’re gonna break your heart.
Stop wandering, put a full stop.
Dear Billy boy, they’re gonna break your heart.
In Twilight Strip there’s a new start.
Dear Billy Budd, you can save your heart
Listen carefully, put a full stop.
Dear Billy boy, you know where’s your start.
It’s deep in your heart.
Deep in your heart.
