Petrograd Waltz - Rome

«If I have seen further than other men,

it’s because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.»

Many eyes stare in envy

And take on the colour of the granite hills

And all the ravens rush by and turn yellow

And you know where to find her

Among God’s frail little things

And you wait inside, you circle for her

No you won’t hear the world falling apart

No you won’t hear the world falling apart

And it’s just the way she walks

Along the coloured parade

And it’s just the way she walks beside you

And she does her trademark partisan dance

Bullets and all, rifle and grenades

And you fly, swinging around the towers with her

No you won’t hear the world falling apart

No you won’t hear the world falling apart

And you watch her

From your secret hide away

And you wanna be

With her every minute of every day

Yeah, you watch her

From your secret hideaway

And you wanna be

With her every minute of every day

And as long as the music is loud enough

We won’t hear the world falling apart

No we won’t hear the world falling apart

No we won’t hear the world falling apart

Cities and fleets

They rise and fall

But the sea is forever

Dancing on the ridge

And you know once and for all

The smallest cleft is the hardest to bridge
