lyrics

I woke up on a sofa. I didn't know where I was for a second. It was cold and dark and there was what sounded like a
pneumatic drill coming from outside the window. I switched on my phone and glanced at the news. All indicators were
that the apocalypse was nigh. I opened the shutters but there was no light or workman, just a sea of people dressed
in black, perhaps a funeral for the end of the world. Then I remembered that I'd just arrived in Berlin and someone
had said;

'Weirdos dance in dark places
Because the world doesn't like our faces'

Because I'd said 'how do you say 'how do you say' in German?'
'And why am I here anyway?'
'And do you know the date or time?'

'Sure, September 1st 1939'

I went outside to investigate what the noise was. It was freezing underfoot and everywhere I looked there were people
dancing, drinking, kissing and pissing. Then I realised that for some reason I wasn't wearing any shoes. Perhaps I'd
thrown them in the canal in some kind of futile protest against capitalism? It wasn't long before I stumbled into a park
surrounded by guys in sequin vests and riot police attempting to dismantle a PA system. But when they did, the drilling
was still there.

'Weirdos dance in dark places
Because the world doesn't like our faces'

I was still feeling pretty disorientated, perhaps because I was in a new country under the influence of various stimulants.
Then I saw some people being shepherded out of the park who were carrying banners about discrimination and a
few guys with as much money as half the world's population and I realised it wasn't 1939, it was May Day 2017
and the noise was in fact that of a whole world in drunken disrepair being drilled in the back of my cranium.
