Czech Locomotive
[Verse 1]
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
The locomotive with pistons of steam
Throwing Cupid's arrows at each other across the frozen park
After sentry duty in the dark
Stuck on the asphalt with the team
All Dana could do was cry
The StB won't silence the dream
If Standa's not coming, then neither will I
[Verse 2]
Can we still run under the freezing shadow of a thirty-metre Stalin?
His face twisted, hurting
He burst through the Iron Curtain
With Dana on his back, with a quiver of darts
Steaming and dreaming all across the frozen park
[Verse 3]
In war and peace and frozen weather
Put your fingertips and your thumb together
Put your lover on your back and run into the night
And forget about the burning trees in the East
And forests in the West, and blackened sky
And sun like a, sun like a, sun like a bloodshot eye up there
And we're right here, happy New Year
Too bad it's covered in smoke
[Chorus]
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
Sweet Dana and the Czech Locomotive
[Verse 4]
Can we still run under the freezing shadow of a thirty-metre Stalin?
His face twisted, hurting
He burst through the Iron Curtain
With Dana on his back, with a quiver of darts
Steaming and dreaming all across the frozen park
