Israel
by Siouxsie and the Bansheeson Kaleidoscope[Intro]
On to Israel
On to Israel
[Verse 1]
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing, singing
[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting for a sign
To turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth
Turned bitter in its glass
[Chorus]
Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
[Verse 2]
Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
[Pre-Chorus]
Now hidden in disguise
Cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive
With a song from inside
[Verse 3]
Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own
When we're singing, singing
Home, home!
[Bridge]
On to Israel
On to Israel
On to Israel
[Verse 4]
There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing, singing
See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging, maddening
[Chorus]
In Israel will they sing Happy Noel?
In Israel, in Israel
Israel, in Israel
In Israel will they sing Happy Noel?
[Outro]
On to Israel
On to Israel
On to Israel
