lyrics

ALONG TRAMCAR RAILWAYS

And we'll go together, take a walk along the tramcar railways
sit on the pipe at the start of the circular road
our warm wind will be black smoke from the factory pipes
our guiding star will be the yellow dish of a traffic light

if we succeed we wont be back in the cage until nightfall
we must be able in 2 seconds to bury ourselves in the ground
to stay still lying there when the gray machines are driving above us
taking with them all of those who never learned nor wanted to wallow in the mud

if we make good time, we'll continue our way crawling along the cross-ties
you'll see the sky, I will see the earth on your soles
we'll need to burn our clothes in the oven if we come back home
if we're not met on the doorstep by the blue-oo-oo caps

if they're waiting, you keep quiet, that we walked along the tramcar railways
it's the first sign of a tendency for crime or schizophrenia
and from his portrait, Iron Felix smiles down upon us
it will last immensely long, it will be exceedingly fair

punishment for the fact that we walked along the tramcar railways
a fair punishment for taking a walk along the tramcar railways
we'll be killed for the fact that we walked along the tramcar railways
we'll be killed for the fact that you and I walked the tramcar railways
