Tuxedomoon - Never Ending Story lyrics

Now this is the beginning of a long long story This is only the beginning of a story That will take many more songs And situations to tell You have been away on a trip You're back now Well now you're back And somehow something has changed You can quite put your finger on it But things aren't quite the same Europe Europe Europe has changed In Vienna you see a cruise boat And a group of little old ladies Lining up loading up About to take a trip Down the green river of dreams Now this is the beginning of a long story We all need taht panacea So you wake up one morning You go downstairs Out into the street You pa** by something you've pa**ed By 1000 times before But this time you really see this thing As if for the first time As if you'd recieved a new set of eyes the night before As if the endless rain Had whased away the veener Had washed away the trasparent shield Has washed away the cataracts from your eyes We all need that panacea At every border A war lies simmering in wait
