Achtung  
Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte  
Über den schweinköpfigen Hund  
Und den lieben Red Baron

After the turn of the century  
In the clear blue skies over Germany  
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard  
Like the screamin’ sound of a big war bird

(apologies for the Lady Marmalade repeat)

Blue skies  
Smiling at me  
Nothing but blue skies  
Do I see

Bluebirds  
Singing a song  
Nothing but bluebirds  
All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright  
Never saw things going so right  
Noticing the days hurrying by  
When you’re in love, my how they fly

The sun is shining in the sky  
There ain’t a cloud in sight  
It’s stopped raining, everybody’s in the play  
And don’t you know it’s a beautiful new day? Hey

Running down the avenue  
See how the sun shines brightly  
In the city, on the streets where once was pity  
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey

</div>

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain  
See it driving nails  
Into the souls on the tree of pain  
From the firefly, a red orange glow  
See the face of fear  
Running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky  
Bullet the blue sky

From years and years of practice  
I know just how to stand  
Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand  
Prepared with boards and hammers  
And several bags of nails  
Well, I could build a wall to lean on  
Roof above my mind  
But I can see you’ve got your own plans  
Please don’t drive your nails into this heart of mine

You done stomped on my heart and you mashed that sucker flat.  
You just sorta stomped on my aorta.  
You started going out with guys. I felt us drift apart.  
And every step you took was a stomp on my heart.

Wait 'til the morning  
For a sign to launch our battered ships  
An ocean storm ccan be still  
Risen by a woman’s lips  
Wait 'til the morning’s  
Rosy fingers gently stroke your eyes  
A fire is burning  
As a signal from a distant isle

I’ve been thinking about our fortune  
And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame  
For the love that’s deep inside us now is still the same

And the sounds we make together  
Is the music to the story in your eyes  
It’s been shining down upon me now, I realize

Lock your daddy out of doors  
I don’t need him nosin’ around  
Tie your mother down  
Tie your mother down  
Give me all your love tonight

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi  
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie  
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous  
She took me in and gave me breakfast  
And she said

“Do you come from a land down under  
Where women glow and men plunder?  
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?  
You better run, you better take cover.”
