Lyrics
Hansel and Gretel are alive and well And they're living in Berlin She is a cocktail waitress He had a part in a Fassbinder film And they sit around at night now Drinking schnapps and gin And she says: "Hansel, you're really bringing me down." And he says: "Gretel, you can really be a bitch." He says: "I've wasted my life On our stupid legend When my one and only love Was the wicked witch." She said: "What is history?" And he said: "History is an angel Being blown Backwards Into the future." He said: "History is a pile of debris And the angel wants to go back and fix things To repair the things that have been broken." But there is a storm blowing from Paradise And the storm keeps blowing the angel Backwards Into the future And this storm This storm Is called Progress
