The Dream Before Lyrics

Hansel and Gretel are alive and well
And they're living in Berlin
She is a c***tail 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 b****
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
