Europa lyrics

Broken glass

Smoke and ash

Take you away through the underpass

The men outside look at you

And long to do what I’m going to

Europa

Laid bare

Europa

My old friend

Take off your clothes

Lay down your hair

Lie under the covers

Over there

Cities fall, cities burn

Men line up to take a turn

Europa

We look beneath the surface

We’ll tell you what we see

It is the same old story that

We see in history

The birds have flown and giants fall

Machines don’t run behind the wall

When something is born as the old ways burn

As sure as the tide it starts to turn

Oh, we stand, tired on our feet,

And we read the news, as paper blows down the street.

And we sing our sadness across the yards,

And we pray, we pray,

The future won't be so hard.
