Eastern Bloc [sequel To Europa And The Pirate Twins, 1981] Lyrics - Astronauts & Heretics - Thomas Dolby

Here in England it's so green 

Martian men can move unseen 

Apparatus underground 

Monitor the crunching sound 

Joey's gone and Georgie's gone 

Put their best torn trousers on 

Found a crowbar and a drill 

Headed for the Berlin Wall 

And last night I swear, I saw her face 

As they stormed the gates of satellite TV 

Too bad I don't get News At Ten 

'Cause the CNN would tell a different story 

Eastern Bloc, Eastern Bloc 

You're never gonna break that dead [incomprehensible] 

How can I shake that gridlock? Shell-shock! 

Tuning out, tuning in, Europa, Europa 

Shine across these waves and rescue me 

Loud and clear, through thick and thin, Europa, Europa 

Come in, come in, come in, come in, do you read? 

Are you receiving me? 

So I was fourteen she was twelve 

Father traveled, hers as well 

Down the beaches hand in hand 

Twelfth of never on the sand 

And we said we'd be the pirate twins again 

In the freezing rain of the Eastern Bloc 

And I used to think each time we kissed it was for real 

But tonight, I feel that the wind has changed 

Eastern Bloc, Eastern Bloc 

You're never gonna break that dead [incomprehensible] 

How can I shake that gridlock? Shell-shock! 

Tuning out, tuning in, Europa, Europa 

Shine across these waves and rescue me 

Loud and clear, through thick and thin, Europa, Europa 

Come in, come in, come in, come in, do you read? 

Are you receiving me? 

Eastern Bloc, Eastern Bloc 

You're never gonna break that dead [incomprehensible] 

How can I shake that gridlock? 

Shell-shock! 

Tuning out, tuning in, Europa, Europa 

Shine across these waves and rescue me 

Loud and clear, through thick and thin, Europa, Europa 

Come in, come in, come in, come in, do you read? 

Tuning out, tuning in, Europa, Europa 

Shine across these waves and rescue me 

Loud and clear, through thick and thin, Europa, Europa 

Come in, come in, come in, come in, do you read? 

Are you receiving me?
