Everything Solid Melts Into Air

Where were you the day they opened up the Wall?
And all the lies and false-talk seemed to melt into the air?
Did you raise a glass or cry into your beer?
And did a new world glow for you or simply disappear?

When you turn around
Do you touch the ground?
Do you make a sound
When there's no-one around?

Come with me to where the tourists seem so real
As day by day they rob us of our heroes
Watch the screen as Charlie takes a gasp and then is gone
But did it show that half your town was wearing yellow shoes?

When you turn around
Do you touch the ground?
Do you make a sound
When there's no-one around?

We look around in wonder
As they push us under
Yeah

Can you tell me how to get to Revolution Square?
I've got to get a shot before it melts into the air
Then we'll wave their flags and even buy their beer
And raise a glass to ages past
Before we disappear

When you turn around
Do you touch the ground?
Do you make a sound
When there's no-one around?
