Rain Falls Down in Amsterdam - Eric Andersen[00:00:00]
The rain falls down in amsterdam the streets are wet and black[00:00:14]
Midnights like november by the glow of a cigarette[00:00:20]
The girls on hash in station square looking stupid from the drugs[00:00:26]
When marlene heard the boots march there were reasons to be dumb[00:00:32]
Shiny helmuts in the shadows[00:00:38]
Those trains that left at night[00:00:41]
Those hiding in the cellars those eyes afraid of light[00:00:44]
Something neath the border's poured poison in the well[00:00:50]
The creature has uncoiled and is crawling up from hell[00:00:56]
Here comes 1914 1932[00:01:05]
Those cattle cars and yellow stars[00:01:11]
It's right back to the roots[00:01:14]
It's movin'in the open with a snarl and a growl[00:01:17]
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the prowl[00:01:22]
Fire bomb those houses burn those refugees[00:01:32]
Be the crowd and do your work[00:01:37]
Applauding silently round up all the gypsies[00:01:40]
Go sell them on the trains[00:01:46]
Can't you smell the smoke now[00:01:49]
Drifting through the rain[00:01:52]
Jews better draw your curtains[00:01:54]
You better lock your doors up tight[00:01:57]
They're snarling up in rostock in the beer hall[00:02:00]
Belly nights[00:02:04]
The fourth reich's coming now baby[00:02:06]
They're writing out the page in rome berlin and stockholm[00:02:09]
The beast has left the cage[00:02:15]
Here comes 1932 here comes deja vu[00:02:22]
Those cattle cars and yellow stars[00:02:27]
Was there someone that you knew[00:02:31]
It's right there in the open somethings smelling bad[00:02:33]
The cages have been broken and the beast is a running mad[00:02:39]
Those canals and cozy houses[00:02:51]
Those reflections in the light[00:02:53]
You can almost feel it moving[00:02:56]
The monster in the night[00:02:59]
It's looking with it's yellow eyes[00:03:02]
It's out to settle scores in the dim medieval distance[00:03:05]
Feel it breathing down your pores[00:03:10]
In salt lake city and in rio[00:03:13]
The beast can smell the flames[00:03:16]
It's faxing hate out in Marseilles typing out your name[00:03:19]
You can hear the windows shatter as the time is drawing near[00:03:24]
Kris tall natch come to town[00:03:30]
Welcome back to the house of mirrors[00:03:33]
The fire and the armbands and the iron arm salutes[00:03:46]
Pointing to the scapegoat was it me or was it you[00:03:52]
It's right there in the open[00:03:58]
Don't just stand there hoping[00:04:01]
The leashes have been broken[00:04:03]
And the dogs are on the loose[00:04:06]
Now I have been here thinking how lucky I have been[00:04:13]
I never touched the barb wire never saw the money grin[00:04:19]
No rifle ever smashed my face no bare electric shock[00:04:25]
But I'll confess up[00:04:30]
All I know who I am and who I'm not[00:04:32]
To see retired killers is to see the lion yawn[00:04:36]
The shin heads do their dirty work for the cloak and dagger pawns[00:04:42]
The dark eyes will be waiting there[00:04:47]
When the borders they are crossed[00:04:50]
So keep your filthy swastikas and shove your iron cross[00:04:52]
Here comes 1914 1932[00:05:03]
Those cattle cars and yellow stars[00:05:09]
It's right back to the roots[00:05:12]
It's out there in the open[00:05:15]
It's crawling on the move[00:05:17]
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the loose[00:05:20]
Can't you smell the blood now[00:05:29]
Can't you smell the truth[00:05:32]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:39]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:45]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:51]
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam[00:05:56]
