Petrograd Waltz

"If I have seen further than other men,
 it's because I have stood on the shoulders of giants."
 Many eyes stare in envy
 And take on the colour of the granite hills
 And all the ravens rush by and turn yellow
 And you know where to find her
 Among God's frail little things
 And you wait inside, you circle for her
 No you won't hear the world falling apart
 No you won't hear the world falling apart
 And it's just the way she walks
 Along the coloured parade
 And it's just the way she walks beside you
 And she does her trademark partisan dance
 Bullets and all, rifle and grenades
 And you fly, swinging around the towers with her
 No you won't hear the world falling apart
 No you won't hear the world falling apart
 And you watch her
 From your secret hide away
 And you wanna be
 With her every minute of every day
 Yeah, you watch her
 From your secret hideaway
 And you wanna be
 With her every minute of every day
 And as long as the music is loud enough
 We won't hear the world falling apart
 No we won't hear the world falling apart
 No we won't hear the world falling apart
 Cities and fleets
 They rise and fall
 But the sea is forever
 Dancing on the ridge
 And you know once and for all
 The smallest cleft is the hardest to bridge
