They sit in the avenue's haze They sit and gaze At Metropolis
Watching the public enemy going blind And the fat milky man Is walking behind Down in the cathedral corner People lay on the marble floor They all fell on their dirty faces But the Bishop Don't want to Turn them 'round And clowns look for evergreens In the Ashtrays Of all the Old Cafès
They stare at the Boulevard's haze They talk and gaze At Metropolis
They hear a haunting Electric voice Under phosphorus sky Won't you come to my heartbeat-party Tomorrow at the Pianola-Palais See the divine Aurora Lady A golden creation of the Invisible brain And Dr. Mabuse Celebrates the premier of the play TANDERADEJ
They stare at the Zeppelin-Square They walk and gaze At Metropolis
And they don't know Water-guns grow In the garage of night You are blessed You are so cool You smile So out of sight But Fritz don't trust on me Beware of the great brain-robbery
The wind is roaring The rain is arising The waters are flowing The heroes are falling The city is sinking But music remains Beware Metropolis Beware Metropolis
