Lyrics

0:09My birthplace would be hard to find
0:13It changed so many times
0:16I'm not sure where it belongs
0:21But they tell me the Baltic coast is full of amber
0:26And the land was green
0:29Before the tanks came
0:33One day I learned just how it used to be
0:38The devils' curse brought the whole world to it's knees
0:43And it was "Hey you keep your head down
0:47Don't look around please don't make a sound
0:52If they should find you now
0:56The Man will shoot you down"
1:09It's a mighty long way out the of darkness
1:14To where the sun is free to shine
1:20Oh The truck came by to us put in the back
1:24And left us where the railroad tracks cross the line
1:32Then the border guide took us by the hand
1:36And led us thru the hole into the promise land beyond
1:42And I can hear him now
1:44Whispering soft and low
1:46"When you get to the other side
1:49Just run like hell"
1:51"Hey you keep your head down
1:54Don't look around please don't make a sound
1:59If they should find you now
2:02The Man will shoot you down"
2:06"Hey you keep your head down
2:10Don't look around please don't make a sound
2:15If they should find you now
2:18The Man will shoot you down"
5:09I thought I had a quiet place
5:13Where I could learn how to catch my childhood dreams
5:19But on my left and to my right they keep on shouting
5:25While I'm just stuck here in between
5:32Lord I'm tried of running and I don't believe I can
5:36I can hear them calling time and time again
5:42And it's "Hey you keep your head down
5:45Don't look around please don't make a sound
5:50If they should find you now
5:53The Man will shoot you down"
My birthplace would be hard to find
It changed so many times
I'm not sure where it belongs
But they tell me the Baltic coast is full of amber
And the land was green
Before the tanks came
One day I learned just how it used to be
The devils' curse brought the whole world to it's knees
And it was "Hey you  keep your head down
Don't look around  please don't make a sound
If they should find you now
The Man will shoot you down"
It's a mighty long way out the of darkness
To where the sun is free to shine
Oh  The truck came by to us put in the back
And left us where the railroad tracks cross the line
Then the border guide took us by the hand
And led us thru the hole into the promise land beyond
And I can hear him now
Whispering soft and low
"When you get to the other side
Just run like hell"
"Hey you  keep your head down
Don't look around  please don't make a sound
If they should find you now
The Man will shoot you down"
"Hey you  keep your head down
Don't look around  please don't make a sound
If they should find you now
The Man will shoot you down"
I thought I had a quiet place
Where I could learn how to catch my childhood dreams
But on my left and to my right they keep on shouting
While I'm just stuck here in between
Lord  I'm tried of running and I don't believe I can
I can hear them calling time and time again
And it's "Hey you  keep your head down
Don't look around  please  don't make a sound
If they should find you now
The Man will shoot you down"
