Fairyland Tango

Stand in silence, shut your eyes
I have power and connection to the police
The night is tight, the sea is steaming
You're insolent and salacious, you have to be silenced
Don't say a word, I'm not interested
I'll read your diaries and take you to the prison
I have a home where you can see Tallinn
I have lived so long I can do anything
 
And every night I play Fairyland Tango
and sometimes it feels like someone is shouting for help from the sea
I heighten the volume of stereos
I have the power to train others
and when they shout under my window it can't be like this
I'll go back to sleep
 
You want so many things but can't have anything
and it's useless to shout and impossible to complain
The night distorts all outlines
and these kind of cases are ignored
Don't say a word, I'm not interested
I shoot you with a shotgun and put you in the prison
You know nothing, your father didn't go to war
I have crawled so long I can do anything
 
And every night I play Fairyland Tango
and sometimes it feels like someone is shouting for help from the sea
I heighten the volume of stereos
I have the power to train others
and when they shout under my window it can't be like this
I'll go back to sleep
 
And this silence is so beautiful
and wind that'll never get me
and so wide are the night and space
and the fear that makes me trust the morning
