AERIAL VIEWS OF SNOWBOUND TOWNS

Sitting in the market square
In one of a hundred empty chairs
I wait for you to come
Or anyone

Girls that used to gather round me
Sit in corners and laugh about me
Their drinks are bought by other men
With sharper suits and better friends

Girls that used to gather round me
Sit in corners and laugh about me
Drinks are picked up by their government
Not mine

Cold war is over
Cold war is over

Your missiles used to point at me
I found it strangely comforting
To know it was just you and me

And ballerinas dance
But not for me

Casinos are busy
Without me

So sitting in the market square
In one of a hundred empty chairs
I wait for you to come
Or anyone

All the years you sold me
Simplicity of one enemy
I miss the time
When it was just you and me

And so we share the same disease
Of looking for new enemies

And all the films aren't the same anymore
There's no mystery and intrigue to me

No honey traps
Vodka, Schnapps
Park benches, trilby hats

Rendezvous me and you
Sunday papers

Aerial views of snowbound towns

Travelling-
Cross the border
Beautiful Russian girl
Late night trains
Empty stations
Cross the border
I'll look after you
Falling from planes
I'll look after you

And ballerinas dance
But not for me
Casinos are busy
Without me

And ballerinas dance

Without me.
