Songbook :: Hindenburg (Death Of An Airship)

The last morning cometh for the german bird
Soaring on the seas, soaring on the skies
Adorned with swastikas on the fin
(You dress tough, but you'll never win!)

A special day in Lakehurst
New Jersey's bright, full of light
couples meet for something to see
(This day will go down in history!)

the first spark burns deep in her heart
New Jersey's bright, full of light
Kissed by fire the captain dies
mixed with flames fall his cries

chorus
Here she comes!
Dressed in flames
What a beauty!
Death of an Airship

Every second grows her impending doom
Burning on the seas, burning in the skies
Hydrogenium flows thar she blows
Spectators staring, full of woes

Oh the humanity the radio blares
sending to the east, sending to the west
All over America the people sigh
But they will never never never know why

Wantonly she strips her skeletton
bursting into light, burning like a sun
glowing in exploding glance
Never forget her funeral dance

chorus
Here she comes!
Dressed in flames
What a beauty!
Death of an airship
Here she comes!
Dressed in flames
An airship dies --
There's fire in the skies!
