Correction Lyrics The Crows of Emmerich by Emperor X

Back

Lyrics

In a dark park in Emmerich
We took a break to rest our feet
Someone was playing the Backstreet Boys on the stereo
Too loud for us to sleep

The team was practicing in the stadium
And we saw a crow in the setting sun
Keeping watch and vaguely threatening
And flying in a wide circle

I won't believe we're out of here
Until the second plane's left
The captain of the football team
Fell down to her death
After clinging to the landing gear
Shouting "I still love you"

On the riverbank in Emmerich
We stared out at the tourist ships
Doing donuts in the Rhine
And listening to bad schlager
Meanwhile you stole your mom some gasoline
You broke every stupid rule but you maintained quarantine
Inside the bar with broken windows
And wrote another sad email to me

But I won't believe you're out of there
Until the second plane's left
The captain of the football team
Fell down to her death
After clinging to the landing gear
Shouting "I still love you
And I always loved you
And I'll always love you"
All the way down

The crows were gathering by the harbor light
They sang to us and kept us up all night
But no one complained about the noise
By Saturday it won't matter

Because the summertime's not made to last
I scratched a question mark in the drying gra**
And threw out last year's expired E-ZPa**
And banged the fence until that crowd of nervous crows scattered
I won't believe we're out of here
Until the second plane's left
The captain of the football team
Fell down to hear death
After clinging to the landing gear

No one's getting out of here alone
We're not safe
Just like that captain of that football team
Except we're all just swinging from the chandeliers
And it isn't enough
