MunichTotal Recall

Steel wheels sing a new song, a rhythm I can trust Leavin' ghost-towns in my wake, trading mountains for the rust Of a city that is breathin, a beast of brick and steam Two hundred miles an hour, chasin' down an iron dream Hauptbahnhof lights are blazin, a concrete constellation This is the first real station of my new world creation No more lookin' backwards at the life I left behind Just a one-way ticket forward, and the future on my mind And Munich is a promise whispered on the breeze A concrete cathedral rising from the trees A symphony of sirens, a skyline sharp and new The place I'll finally become the me I always knew Yeah, the me I always knew They welcome you with open arms and promises so grand A place to sleep, a helping hand, in this strange and foreign land A"patron" with a business suit, a smile that doesn't reach his eyes Says"Son, I see your future, let me help you reach the prize" But every friendly gesture has a price you have to pay And shadows on the Schillerstrasse don't always go away I learned that every open door can also be a trap And every word of kindness could be hiding something in the back This ain't the Thalersee.. the water's deep and cold The price of the platform is a story to be told This world will try to own you, try to mold you, try to break you It's not enough to be just strong.. you have to let the wisdom make you So let them play their little games, and let them think they know I'm just a seed that's in their soil, but watch how big I grow This city's mine to conquer now, the lesson understood From the shadows of the Schillerstrasse.. something great and good Yeah.. something good.
