Pandora's Lullaby - Alphaville

So you hugged the globe

Now it’s whirling too fast

I’ve really got no hope to hang on to the past

The train has departed, the toxins have started

To announce 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 distorted 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 they never wonder why

This is the world gliding by

Like the driftwood beams

On a lifetime’s stream

The instant fundamental sky for Pandora’s Lullaby

For Pandora’s Lullaby

For Pandora’s Lullaby

Lullaby
