Yes, they drilled the old horse right down into cement
And then sparked up the flame for the petrol-soaked tents
St. Francis arose from the gallery of birds
And five thousand roars from the terraces were heard
On the street right outside there were missiles and stones
There were sparkplugs a plenty to shake my young bones
Did the wall in Berlin crack and break in their fists?
When they shut the Ford factory, threw a watch on your wrist?
Snakes and ladders won't bother me
In the wake of the ship the smooth water I see
All and all it seems alright
The morning sun it is warm and bright
I can feel the cool wind across my face
I can see for miles into wind open space
The swallows they fly across the blue sky
And the future is here for you and I
He broke fiddle player's fingers in dark Bucharest
He was shot on Christ's day and they laid him to rest
He spat in the face of the whole human race
He was ripped from a pedestal in a mire of disgrace
On the borders the searchlights they cut through your soul
And one thousand dogs barked in the January cold
And I wish that the warm month of May would soon come
In a corner of my mind I would hold the warm sun
Snakes and ladders won't bother me
In the wake of the ship the smooth water I see
All and all it seems alright
The morning sun it is warm and bright
I can feel the cool wind across my face
I can see for miles into wind open space
The swallows they fly across the blue sky
And the future is here for you and I
Way up in the church Christ was nailed to a cross
And the old Bogman preached about morals long lost
Then I drank from a pool and I stared at the moon
And my dreams and my soul flew around the dark room
And the flowers on dresses I haven't seen since
They were worn by you in the cool morning mist
The old woman she knelt to St Anthony and prayed
For our souls to be found at the dawn of the day
Snakes and ladders won't bother me
In the wake of the ship the smooth water I see
All and all it seems alright
The morning sun it is warm and bright
I can feel the cool wind across my face
I can see for miles into wind open space
The swallows they fly across the blue sky
And the future is here for you and I

Yes, they drilled the old horse right down into cement
