Hannover

from Teamwork by Phileas

lyrics

In a dark cellar in Hannover
Sits a man with a piano accordion
Weaving the strings of your life
Into a personal memento
You may not like the colour
You may hate the style
But for 5 minutes you’re a superstar
From an ant’s eye view
In no man’s land
In the middle of the night
On the eve of destruction
You’re looking for yourself
In the haze
On a busy street in Hannover
Amid the Saturday rush
Sits an old man with a cup
Far away, eyes shut
You’ve seen him every day
Same time, same place
But today, something is different
Today he’s hardly breathing
In the morning sun
After the explosion
You think you know yourself
And it scares you
In a grey drizzle in Hannover
Amid the sound of accordions
I look for the indefinable
In mirrors of eternity
I long for the cellar of yesterday
I long to be lost in the dark
Knowing too much about everything
Makes an enemy of the city
In the middle of the night
At the moment of impact
You feel yourself die in a dream
And it’s over
