Anderson Ian Different Germany Lyrics

Different Germany Lyrics

The lights are down in Germany
and Germany is closed to me
different
somehow this time.
The airport's still, cold corridors
ring empty beats
through hollow feet
that I find to be mine.
Different Germany.
History
repeats somehow.
Different Germany.
Afraid to know you now.
And past my
eyes with leathered gaze
stare clean-cut boys all dressed as men
in
sharpened uniform.
Who turned the clock? (Moved on or back)
and what dark
chill is gathering still
before the storm.
Out in the street a tableau
double-glazed
with laughing girls whose fastened smiles
are clearly not
meant for me.
