Hyacinth House - European Rails lyrics

They ripped me up in Budapest Neon lights and a little man With an evil heart and empty eyes Remember brother George in Praha And his twitchy and twirly green eyebrows And the hookers awaiting their prayers in the looming light alleys And how they try to sneak bucks out of your pockets And dazzling you with their white sugar teeth Travelling south on the east trail With the caterwaul howling from the north O violet blue Berlin In your beautiful summer rain With your upright structure And well aimed streets The check point of d**h But now the holocaust is gone from your eyes The destiny to k** the same reasons at the same costs Now it's just another country Wearing the truth of the hangman's blues Twilight country of Romania No golden suburbias here But a palace big enough for the whole universe The melting witch of Sofia In a jacket way too big With posture proud, angry and sad She gives all experience you need When you're an explorer of the east Packed with guilt and conscience in denial Just another one of those backpackers on the run Travelling south on the east trail With the caterwaul howling from the north
