[Verse 1]
Am Dm
I am a refugee now, I am running like mad
G C E
across a frosty green Poland, my head in a sack.
Am Dm
And the blood in my brain screaming "How did this happen?"
G C E
and "Where am I now?" Who is so blue in this freeze?
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
Who is so grey with the history, rain dancing all
G C E
on my face without mercy and the muscles relax.
Am Dm
And I just have to laugh through the loose teeth and tissue,
G C E
the symphony builds under your boot.
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
And the horns drool in harmony, dancers all swoon,
G C E
this is my bloody tune, my last gasp of the past.
Am Dm
My thorn in the side of the violence of time,
G C E
I won't scream, I won't writhe, I am laughing and burning.
[Verse 4]
Am Dm
Alive like a thornbush that grew in the hot
G C E
countryside, now the fire is high and I am not
Am Dm
consumed. Yes, this is the room,
G C E
this is the old song from memory, this is the sound of the
Am Dm G C E
Jew who refuses to die.
[Interlude]
| Am | Dm | G | C E |
[Verse 5]
Am Dm
April 4th, 1944,
G C E
I recall my old address no more.
Am Dm
I live day to day on the glossy dancefloor
G C E
of a wide countryside full of disappeared people.
[Verse 6]
