 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I treaded lightly
through the park
It was as grey 
As the newly dead

For the ash and the dust
Had combined and was lyin' from
The suburbs to the sticks
Never met a soul to bring
A little swing to the rhythm

Of a day so long and still
I'm afraid I never will
Hold a conversation, without water or window

I awoke from the dream
A hundred years it might have been
Oh the clouds were gathering
With clothes on the line

Never mind as the breeze
Blew a poster down the street
Oh the bold typeface read:
'Will you go or must I?'

And in Vienna
An artist throws 
His speckled arms into 
The air

And Mr. Freud, reveals the void
In our hearts where we thought 
We knew the light from the dark
But there's only sex and murder 
In the back of our skulls

Still that firebird sings
Cuts us open with its wings
Oh the glory when the lightning brings
The horses down the mountain

Where the ancient people dwell 
There's no water in the well
Oh the notes that swell and spin
They won't fill empty bellies

Still we march in line together
For the progress of your betters
Oh you better eat your bread, my friend
The multitude is staring

London, Paris, Rome, Berlin 
We will fight and we will win 
Hold me darling I'm ashamed 
So will you go or must I?
