Alphaville Pandora's Lullaby song lyrics

So you hugged the globe

Now it's whirling too fast

I really got no hope to hang on to the past

The train has departed, the toxins have started

To accounce that none will last

I cower in the gutter of a world that's 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

I'm 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 lifetime's stream

The instant fundamental sky for Pandora's Lullaby

I see distored faces coined like gold

And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told

A watermark against a spark

Umbrellas that they hold

I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by

An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky

Buy I just sit and wonder a bit that tehy never wonder why
