Metropolis - Amon Düül II

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
