Rain Falls Down In Amsterdam - Eric Andersen[00:00:00]
Written by:Eric Andersen[00:00:01]
The rain falls down in Amsterdam the streets are wet and black[00:00:12]
Midnights like November by the glow of a cigarette[00:00:18]
The girls on hash in station square looking stupid from the drugs[00:00:24]
When Marlene heard the boots March there were reasons to be dumb[00:00:29]
Shiny helmets in the shadows[00:00:36]
Those trains that left at night[00:00:39]
Those hiding in the cellars those eyes afraid of light[00:00:42]
Something Neath the border's poured poison in the well[00:00:48]
The creature has uncoiled and is crawling up from hell[00:00:54]
Here comes 1914 1932[00:01:03]
Those cattle cars and yellow stars[00:01:08]
It's right back to the roots[00:01:12]
It's movin' in the open with a snarl and a growl[00:01:14]
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the prowl[00:01:20]
Fire bomb those houses burn those refugees[00:01:29]
Be the crowd and do your work[00:01:35]
Applauding silently round up all the gypsies[00:01:38]
Go sell them on the trains[00:01:43]
Can't you smell the smoke now[00:01:47]
Drifting through the rain[00:01:50]
Jews better draw your curtains[00:01:52]
You better lock your doors up tight[00:01:55]
They're snarling up in Rostock in the beer hall[00:01:58]
Belly nights[00:02:02]
The fourth Reich's coming now baby[00:02:04]
They're writing out the page in Rome berlin and Stockholm[00:02:06]
The beast has left the cage[00:02:12]
Here comes 1932 here comes deja vu[00:02:20]
Those cattle cars and yellow stars[00:02:25]
Was there someone that you knew[00:02:28]
It's right there in the open somethings smelling bad[00:02:31]
The cages have been broken and the beast is a running mad[00:02:37]
Those canals and cozy houses[00:02:48]
Those reflections in the light[00:02:51]
You can almost feel it moving[00:02:54]
The monster in the night[00:02:57]
It's looking with it's yellow eyes[00:02:59]
It's out to settle scores in the dim medieval distance[00:03:02]
Feel it breathing down your pores[00:03:08]
In salt lake city and in rio[00:03:11]
The beast can smell the flames[00:03:14]
It's faxing hate out in Marseilles typing out your name[00:03:17]
You can hear the windows shatter as the time is drawing near[00:03:22]
Kris tall natch come to town[00:03:28]
Welcome back to the house of mirrors[00:03:31]
The fire and the armbands and the iron arm salutes[00:03:44]
Pointing to the scapegoat was it me or was it you[00:03:50]
It's right there in the open[00:03:55]
Don't just stand there hoping[00:03:58]
The leashes have been broken[00:04:01]
And the dogs are on the loose[00:04:04]
Now I have been here thinking how lucky I have been[00:04:11]
I never touched the barb wire never saw the money grin[00:04:17]
No rifle ever smashed my face no bare electric shock[00:04:22]
But I'll confess up[00:04:28]
All I know who I am and who I'm not[00:04:30]
To see retired killers is to see the lion yawn[00:04:33]
The shin heads do their dirty work for the cloak and dagger pawns[00:04:39]
The dark eyes will be waiting there[00:04:45]
When the borders they are crossed[00:04:47]
So keep your filthy swastikas and shove your iron cross[00:04:50]
Here comes 1914 1932[00:05:01]
Those cattle cars and yellow stars[00:05:07]
It's right back to the roots[00:05:09]
It's out there in the open[00:05:12]
It's crawling on the move[00:05:15]
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the loose[00:05:18]
Can't you smell the blood now[00:05:27]
Can't you smell the truth[00:05:30]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:37]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:43]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:49]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:54]
