Holding up the bank in Belgrade
She lost her mind
Between the battle lines

And the telephone rings
A bell rung out
As they talk about

Sixteen kids gone in a school yard
The papers read, she shakes her head
And I said


In the darkest night
Come the darkest days

In the worst of ways

Close that town for good, the plagues here

The skin from beneath
All the way to the mouths they feed
Then they're filtered clear

The boys will try
And the judge decides
Get out while you can, she tells me

You're wasting time
That's fine


In the darkest night
Come the darkest days
In the worst of ways


All right, now


>From the silent cry
To the naked eye
She waves good-bye


Holding up the bank in Belgrade
I played a tune

When, how, did it happen soon, she said
Now we find a way to make it down
The place smokes, and the palace burns

And the world keeps turning around
And around, yeah
Around, and it's bringing me down


In the darkest night
Come the darkest days

And the last bell rings out
