Lyrics Israel (as made famous by Siouxsie & The Banshees) - Mephisto Walz

Israel (as made famous by Siouxsie & The Banshees)

Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summer time
Before your heart’s in winter time
That’s why they’re singing, singing
Waiting for a sign
To turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth
Turned bitter in its glass
Israel
In Israel
Israel
In Israel
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
Now hidden in disguise
Cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your hearts alive
With a song from inside
Even though we’re all alone
We are never on our own
When we’re singing, singing
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
In Israel
Will they sing happy Noel?
Israel
In Israel
Israel
In Israel
In Israel
Will they sing happy Noel?
