White Russian

(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)



Where do we go from here?



Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

Where do we go from here, where do we go from here



They boarded up the synagogues uzis on a street corner

You can't take a photograph of uzis on a street corner

The dj resigned today they wouldn't let him have his say

Surface scratched where the needles play, uzis on a street corner



Where do we go from here



Terror in rue de st. denis, murder on the periphery

Someone else in someone else's pocket, christ knows i don't know how to stop it

Poppies at the cenotaph, the cynics can't afford to laugh

I heard in on the telegraph there's uzis on a street corner



Where do we go from here, where do we go from here



The more i see, the more i hear, the more i find fewer answers

I close my mind, i shout it out but you know it's getting harder

To me calm down, to reason out, to come to terms with what it's all about

I'm uptight, can't sleep at night, i can't pretend everything's alright

My ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting me

But to stand up and fight i know we have six million reasons



They're burning down the synagogues uzis on a street corner

The heralds of the holocaust uzis on a street corner

The silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vows

This resurrection we can't allow, uzis on a street corner



Where do we go from here, where do we go from here



We buy fresh bagels from the corner store

Where swastikas are spat from aerosols

I sit in the bar sipping iced white russian

Trying to score but nobody's pushing

And everyone looks at everyone's faces

Searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence

Are we sitting on a barbed wire fence

Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home



We place our faith in human rights

In the paper wars that tie the red tape tight

I know that i would rather be out of this conspiracy



In the gulags and internment camps frozen faces in nameless ranks

I know that they would rather be standing here beside me

Racing the clouds home, racing the clouds home



You can shut your eyes, you can hide it away it's gonna come back another day



Racing the clouds home, are we racing the clouds home

Racing the clouds home
