Breakthrough Songtext
von Peter Hammill

The visitors find the children gone from school
Aged relatives sling their guns across the desks
There′ll be no breaktime for them unless

They talk about tomorrow
As though it's already on its way
Amen

Oh yes, they′re waiting for the breakthrough
Waiting for the breakthrough in time

The visitors hide no aces up their sleeves
And the classroom pulses to many different drums
If only a breakthrough in time would come
If only a breakthrough in time would come


Get me some charts for the visiting ones
We could talk about tomorrow
As though we believed in that
We could talk about it right now
And it would come as a shock

The fever finger will grow on the trigger finger
Still the visitors park us

Waiting for the breakthrough
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands
Waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands

With time on our hands (With time)
With time on our hands (With time)
With time on our hands (With time)
With time on our hands (With time)
With time on our hands (With time)
