Lyrics for Vopo's

They woke you in the night A glare from bright headlights. Sentry's in a row, You watched them from a front window. Through sleepy eyes you saw the scene, And felt As if a dream... Had come to life. Caught by surprise Protection in disguise. A high barricade, The price too high to pay. The late-night dancers filled the street, And stopped As if a dream... Had come to life A wail and a cry, Blue lights flashing by In shadows of the trees, A zone runs in between. The young-boy soldiers filled the streets And moved As if a dream... Had come to life. Can it be a nightmare? Will you wake and still be there? So you try to run, Frightened you're the one Left inside. Can it be a nightmare? Will you wake and still be there? So you try to run, Frightened you're the one Left inside.
