Metropolis Lyrics

They sit in the avenue's haze
They sit and gaze
At Metropolis
Watching the public enemy going blind
And the fat milky man
Is walking behind
Down in the cathedral corner
People lay on the marble floor
They all fell on their dirty faces
But the Bishop
Don't want to
Turn them 'round
And clowns look for evergreens
In the Ashtrays
Of all the Old Cafès

They stare at the Boulevard's haze
They talk and gaze
At Metropolis

They hear a haunting
Electric voice
Under phosphorus sky
Won't you come to my heartbeat-party
Tomorrow at the Pianola-Palais
See the divine Aurora Lady
A golden creation of the
Invisible brain
And Dr. Mabuse
Celebrates the premier of the play
TANDERADEJ
They stare at the Zeppelin-Square
They walk and gaze
At Metropolis
And they don't know
Water-guns grow
In the garage of night
You are blessed
You are so cool
You smile
So out of sight
But Fritz don't trust on me
Beware of the great brain-robbery

The wind is roaring
The rain is arising
The waters are flowing
The heroes are falling
The city is sinking
But music remains
Beware Metropolis
Beware Metropolis
