Hark, the wire service sing
Clear the satellite link
Check the fax machine
Hold the lead story boys
There's some great pictures coming in
Now the pilot's heartbeat slows
Palms dry out
No questions only orders
And the F-1 glides in nose-up
Through the cloudbase and the
Ground crew cheers as he puts down
His landing gear
Hey boy, you're a hero
Take this cigar
And back home in Cleveland
All the papers and the local TV stations
Will be calling your ma
And the farmer's wife
Shoos the cat off the chair
She says sit down my dear
Was the milk
Life Is A Long And Silent River
Ten more summers pleased the land
Ten more winters numbed the landscape
Time is running quickly
But in my brane a terrible dream never ends
I try to escape from my past
I'm damned to suffer a whole life!
Life is a long and silent river
She grows up - shy alone and sad
Other kids - kept away from her
Her mother - was devorsed long ago
No more love - only alcohol
Life is a long and silent river
No real friends - for the little girl
Nobody understands - what's wrong with her
Her classmates - cheat her all the time
The silent girl - is discriminated against
Life is a long and silent river
People are shouting at me
"You stupid girl!
How strange you are - never spoke!"
I try to escape from my past
I'm damned to suffer a whole life
