Testo Warsaw Eugenio Finardi
Closing time is hours past
The buses and the trams suspended
Even drunks are off the streets
And call-girlsâ phones are disconnected
And theyâve shut the bakeries
Theyâve boarded up the printing presses
An theyâve put on silencers
So you will never know how many
Were caught after curfew...
You know roadblocks ring the cityâs center
Night patrols are on the highways
Waiting at the exits and
Along the backroads in the country
And theyâve shut the dailies down
Theyâve taken over all the networks
And theyâll monitor the news
So you will never know how many
Were caught after the curfew...
Crowded buses will meet the dawn
The same old faces getting on
But look around
Youâll see a few are gone
But donât you wonder out loud
âcause you donât know who could be in that crowd
just waiting for a comment you might make
only listening for a word said by mistake
and tomorrow night theyâll be awake
and theyâll fix it so youâre
caught after the curfew
caught after the curfew at night...
