Dresden

Don't bomb Dresden
Dresden anymore
You should have ended
Ended the war
Before you ended up                    Czeckoslovakia
Carving it up some more              Slovakia Chech 
                                                      Once was all the same
                                                      What the heck
East to West
From Soviet                                   Was there a velvet                    Bring together Germany
None of these changes                   Revolution                                in full circle
Ever forget                                      Around an iron fist                  breaking thru the wall
But if you let                                  With barbed wire                      was the final hurdle
Sentiment keep you there               Were you kissed
You'll still remain up                                                                        Milk has curdled
Up in the air                                    I missed your penalty                in that time
                                                        Your moment of                        now take a different
                                                         Swift breakage                         line
Cycle in Dresden                             You were all the rage
And then skate                                 And then broke into                  Join together 
Love will out                                    Like an objet d'art                     two different
The hidden hate                                On a market stall                       jigsaw pieces
Forbidden will be                              Trampled by a shoe                  in irregular fit
The pain for sure                                                                                 you've got to count
When you no longer                         Were the tanks invisible            your blessings
Open up the sore                                When you were divided           over every bit
                                                           With the ghost
                                                            Of liberation                            From Baden Baden's
Wall come down                                Had you confided                     Romance
Open door                                                                                            To Leipzig
Thru the halflite                                 Two races on                             or Chemnitz'
Something different saw                    Two sides of the river               practice 
                                                            Two paces apart                       Neubrandenberg's
                                                            It seems you separated              artifice
You've got to let go                             In a fine art                               to Aachen's
Of all your former woe                                                                         horses white
Into new waters                                   Pull apart
Let your toe                                         Pull apart                                  Join together
Allow Dresden to                                New countries start                   every bit
Breathe a little more                            I missed your penalty                inspite
Love the peace                                     Flies from each other                of being different
Leave War.                                           Dart.                                          different parts
                                                                                                                to the kite
                                                                                                               the airship
                                                                                                                up ahead
                                                                                                               you'll take us
                                                                                                               to the moon again
                                                                                                               with inspirations bled.
