Waltz Lyrics

Mekons Waltz

Prendre les mors aux dents
and just pickup whoever you want
the sea turns black with robot's blood
and a terrible beauty is born

you animals can't see your own captivity
and you won't ever come home now
you won't ever come home
the king of the pirates has left for the summit
his house left wide open as photocells flicker and die

a pair of giant's hands
sink into the sand
and tear out the family silver
top pay off the stooges we hired

the graveyard scene looks fine
the skull gets all the best lines
and you won't ever come home now
you won't ever come home

lovely assassin
go puncture the surface
dressed up like a lifeguard
you watch the bubbles break through

the bridle and the bit
will lead you into the ditch
and you won't ever come home now
you won't ever come home

lovely assassin
go strike without warning
dressed up like a fireman
with sparks matches and oil
la la la la
