1987 Songtext

von We Are the City

The year I was born, three teens from New York killed a man, the most despicable crime*
In the same year, Robert McFarlane attempted a suicide.
In different ways, both he and a group of American astronomers discovered new kinds of light not yet seen by human eyes.
The first birth of a galaxy.
The year I was born, Capitol comes to close, premiere Bold and the Beautiful.
It's all shampoo and soap.
In the same year, Gary Hart quits his job, three satanist teens kill their friend for fun.
They see the devil in everything, and I'm the direct and absolute opposite of them.

(An Angel in White came to my room in the night and with no words
She offered me the Light but I turned my back and faced the dark.
I heard a noise in my ears from the kitchen downstairs so I checked out of fear to see if something was there.
Now the Angel had flown away and a demon had taken its place. Now I'm afraid.)
