We were like Hanover
Like Chaos Days, unloved
You said I'm the hole in the bucket
I said I'm a sieve
Which will rescue you in the end, no matter where you cry and live
You must never forget: Mousse T. knows Tom Jones
At the train station there's a tower advertising utility vehicles
You were a storm that nobody could hear or sense
A motorbike club is founded
Another is disbanded
You had a life-plan
I had Fury in the Slaughterhouse
What will become of Hanover, once the Scorpions are no more?
And if in the "Wind of Change", we're just a candle in the wind?
You laughed at the Scorpions, but they're in "Stranger Things"
What if we're both like Hanover?
We were like the Kraftwerk expo-jingle1
Short but fatal
Like a Sunday evening after a state election
A tree grows oblique and steady through the German pavilion
Chancellors and presidents sing in the Niedersachsenstadion2
And Trude Herr sings just for us:
"Nobody ever leaves completely"3
Two lost waiters in empty restaurants
A Penny4 is robbed
A barricade burns in the sunshine
Without you I'll always be just outside Hanover
What will become of Hanover, once the Scorpions are no more?
And if in the "Wind of Change", we're just a candle in the wind?
You laughed at the Scorpions, but they're in "Stranger Things"
What if we're both like Hanover?
What will become of Hanover, once the Scorpions are no more?
And if in the "Wind of Change", we're just a candle in the wind?
You laughed at the Scorpions, but they're in "Stranger Things"
What if we're both like Hanover?
