Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
I want to love with an open heart
Got to live in a clean and clear space
I'm gonna kick down fascist art
[Verse 2]
I want to dream on a Bauhaus staircase
And I want to sleep under Weimar skies
Need to dance in a Triad Ballet
See the world through Alber's eyes
[Verse 3]
'Cause everyone needs a Bauhaus staircase
Everyone gets a second chance
All the world needs art and passion
Pere Ubu and the Modern Dance
[Verse 4]
Pere Ubu and the Modern Dance
Pere Ubu
Pere Ubu
Pere Ubu and the Modern Dance
[Verse 5]
So build a world on a Bauhaus staircase
See the future in yesterday
Don't you ever waste this moment
Never beg, nor kneel or pray
[Verse 6]
Never beg, nor kneel or pray
[Verse 7]
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
[Verse 8]
Terrified on a Bauhaus staircase
Breaking down from the weight of pain
Climbing high atop the Bauhaus staircase
The revolution comes again
[Verse 9]
The revolution comes again
Again
Again
The revolution comes again
[Verse 10]
So rule the world from a Bauhaus staircase
Spread the love right across the globe
Elevate the weak and weary
Educate and truth be told
[Verse 11]
Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be told
[Outro]
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
I want to kiss on a Bauhaus Staircase
