Sleeping With The Past
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mr. Amorphous from Germany
Goes with the fashion, as fashion goes
First a brown shirt, then a red shirt
Now his shirt is white as snow
Look to the future
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Wiping out what happened here yesterday
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Here is the deal
Part with the past, no memory
We won't ask you, we will clear you
If you play our game now
This is the deal
Show must go on, at any price
Brush of the victims of forty years
Too bad, so sorry, now let's get on
Who was spying, who was dying
Who is lying, who's to blame?
Look to the future
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
don't dig up the stories long dead and gone
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Look to the future
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Wiping out what happened here yesterday
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Bygones are bygones is fast and clean
Whitewash the surface, that will be fine
Firtyfive was not a lesson
To the class of eightynine
Look to the future
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
everything is starting all over there
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Look to the future
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Wiping out what happened here yesterday
(Nothing in the past, nothing in the past)
Show goes on!
