Bombs Away

The Queen is marching back to Paris tonight The priests are praying and preparing the rites Another animal gets drowned in the Seine Enemies, enemies will never be friends The city's artifacts are thrown into bags The safe's been blown apart, the river's been dragged Another diver's got a case of the bends Enemies, enemies will never be friends The Queen is marching back to London tonight The new regime is hunkered down for a fight Another animal gets drowned in the Thames Enemies, enemies will never be friends The city's quiet and awaiting the Blitz A candle's lit where old Victoria sits Babylon's burning and a dynasty ends Enemies, enemies will never be friends Bombs away Bombs away Bombs away Bombs away Bombs away It's a pain but not a shock Bombs away Let that old Gomorrah rock Bombs away Let the fires light the road Bombs away The metropolis explodes Bombs away It's a pain but not a shock Bombs away Let that old Gomorrah rock Bombs away Let the fires light the road Bombs away The metropolis explodes Bombs away It's a pain but not a shock Bombs away Let that old Gomorrah rock Bombs away Let the fires light the road Bombs away The metropolis explodes The Queen is marching back to Paris tonight The priests are praying and preparing the rites I saw reflections of this world in the Seine I saw the Amazon, the Rhine and the Thames The times I tried to get away from it all Just left me standing with my back to the wall Another strategy regarding my heart All these explosions are a shot in the dark Bombs away It's a pain but not a shock Bombs away Let that old Gomorrah rock Bombs away Let the fires light the road Bombs away The metropolis explodes Bombs away It's a pain but not a shock Bombs away Let that old Gomorrah rock Bombs away Let the fires light the road Bombs away The metropolis explodes
