I’ve seen this maze of hallways
Quarter of a thousand times
And still, in every time I walk
I know I’ve missed some signs
This maze we all suffer in
Dimly lit, so dizzying
This sad place made by him
My ears won’t cease ringing
I don’t know how I got here
If I had a previous life
But damned if I’m gonna try
So we can all see it right
I see only black and white
Save blood on the floors and walls
Until he attacks my sight
And no one can hear my calls
Still I’ll press on, I’ll press on
(Please turn back, while you can)
When hope seems lost, I’ll go on
(I’m turning back, back again)
I’ve said farewell to the skyspace
I may never see
Trudging on in a hellscape
To set all those souls free
I have no more memory of who I was before
I’m losing all my senses
Behind all those closed doors
(Interlude, excerpt from Interview with John Lydon (Bbc Radio 1, Rock on, Oct. 28 1978)
“I’d like to make a film of it. And on film I’d like to kill Jimmy Saville. I think he’s a hypocrite. I bet he’s into all kinds of seediness that we all know about but are not allowed to talk about. I’ve heard some rumors.”
No one will open their eyes
None turn to look at me
With the exception of one,
Her gaze is focused raptly
They all have started to scream,
I’ve backed out to leave,
She follows, I’ll keep going
It’s a no-brainer for me
Still I’ll press on, I’ll press on
(Please turn back, while you can)
When hope seems lost, I’ll go on
(I’m turning back, back again)
I’ve said farewell to the skyspace
I may never see
Trudging on in a hellscape
To set all those souls free
I have no more memory of who I was before
I’m losing all my senses
Behind all those closed doors
Interlude
[Excerpt of Lincolnshire Poacher number station]
3, 9 7, 1, 5
3, 9, 7, 1
Bridge (german)*
(Mixed with Swedish Rhapsody Number Station)
Achtung
Eins, Sieben, Zwei, Sieben
Wie viele unserer sind dort unten?
Fünf, Sechs, sieben, Acht
Er hat uns Leiden lassen, Sad Satan.
Eins, Sieben, Zwei, Sieben
Schau hinter dich! Wer ist da?
Achtung
SECHS SECHS SECHS
Dreh dich nicht um,
Er ist hinter dir
I’ve said farewell to the skyspace
I may never see
Trudging on in a hellscape
To set all those souls free
I have no more memory
Of who I was before
I’m losing all my senses
Behind all those closed doors
I’m sorry, oh, it’s my fault
I failed you once again
Another loss, I don’t know
When I’ll begin again
I’ve got nothing but my shame
And my own sense of fear
It’ll take infinite tries
Before we’re out of here
*Bridge (English)
Attention
One, seven, two, seven
How many of us are down here?
Five, six, seven, eight
He made us suffer, sad Satan
One, seven, two, seven
Look behind you! Who’s there?
Attention
SIX SIX SIX
Don’t look now,
He’s behind you.
