Through the haze Swallows flying high While we sleep In a world of steel There's no peace
It is my belief That my life has been discreet Door slammed shut The big bad wolf of night Fragments of hope in this endless climb Lit up by traffic lights Broken dreams Parading gingermen Aftermath Turn away From them
Rain beats down On the candy streets Each drop sings the gingermen to sleep
Watch us fail Oh, stars above Guide me through the dark Whispers told To the fading light
An now the cars go by Silver ghosts Of all the gingermen Washing out Washed away With the rain
You better pack a suitcase Escape beyond the city limits Or watch your old self disappear Before the end is writ in dough It can only be delayed
We'll never escape From the big wave
Oh, are you washing away now Oh, are you washing away now Oh, are you washing away now And now you are never the same anymore
