Waters and cranes form like trees. Buildings are eyes and clouds are homes. Cities and streets are blue like veins. Europe has no heart. Church tops rise like steam and smog. Railway stations open and close. People show their reservations. Europe has no heart.
These are the tram lines, these are the trains, these are the rails.
The night falls like a dress to the floor. A child insists: Mother me father. Fields are harvested by the cold. Europe has no heart. The dark satanic mills produce. The wreckage of careless youth. And authors gather to burn their books. Europe has no heart.
These are the shipwrecks, these are the planes, these are the sails.
Culture's defined by teenage angst. Modern art is magazines. Sex is branded "The new love". Europe has no heart. Tourists buy the Berlin wall. Economies rise, beliefs fall. Negligence is so cool. Europe has no heart.
These are the subways, these are the cars, these are the wheels.
Body's designed to fit the clothes. Children are accessories. 1.7 mouths to feed. Europe has no heart. Women leave their heritage to cats. Kids are floating in baskets at sea. Islands of steam, islands of steam. Europe has no heart.
This could be you.
You are a piece of corporate art. You are an advert designed to sell. Unborn kids a tour pass to hell. You do have a heart. You are the tram lines, you are the train. You are the pilot flying this plane. You've got a chance to choose to change. You do have a heart. This is you.
