Pandora's Lullaby Songtext
von Alphaville & Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg

So you hugged the globe
Now it′s whirling too fast
I've really got no hope
To hang on to the past
The train has departed
The toxins have started
To announce that none will last

I cover in the gutter
Of the world that′s not so near
And I listen to their mutters
That are spinning through the air
The words unspoken
The promises broken
And the ones who really care


I'm the watcher of the scene
I see our shadows on the screen
And when the subway brakes
To preserve some suicidal bee
I stopped to breathe for a while
Maybe it was me

This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beam
On a lifetime's stream
The instant fundamental sky
For Pandora′s lullaby

I see distorted faces
Coined like gold
And in their wrinkles programs
That commercial gurus told
A watermark
Against a spark
Umbrellas that they hold

I′m gliding in the distance
And watch the world go by
An orbit full of questions
A perforated sky
But I just sit
And wonder a bit that they never wonder why


This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beams
On lifetime's stream
The instant fundamental sky
For Pandora′s lullaby
For Pandora's lullaby
For Pandora′s lullaby

Lullaby
