lyrics

Snow White

Solemnly they planted terror in my heart
Obediently they brand their lambs with the word
So they won’t get lost

Mutilations demand loyalty
Isn’t that how they wrote history?
Isn’t that how they forge identities?

I see you send your spies into the world
Dressed to kill & multilingual
A doll within a doll, within a doll, within a doll

And in your inner-most room
You guard the icon of your frozen youth

But that’s not the story of you and me
That’s not our story love, we are free

When I felt how close we could be
All this trapped intensity
Could it finally be released?
Like a new born symphony

Snow White, lily of my heart
Snow White, lily in the dark

Once upon a time, how else could it begin?
A fairy tale, written by the brothers Grimm

And in the fevered brain of Germany
On which history performed lobotomy
The schizophrenia of West and East
That’s were lovers have to meet

At night a fox appeared for us exclusively
Bowie woke up and sang elusively
That’s a story for you and me
That’s a story love, cause we are free

When we felt how close we could be
All this trapped intensity
Could it finally be released?
Like a new born symphony

Snow White, lily of my heart
Snow White, lily of my heart
