Somewhere a clock strikes midnight And there’s a full moon in the sky You hear a dog bark in the distance You hear someone’s baby cry A rat runs down the alley
And a chill runs down your spine And someone walks across your grave And you wish the sun would shine‘Cause no one’s going to warn you And no one’s going to yell, “Attack!”
And you don’t feel the steel Till it’s hanging out your back

“You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”
