Alphaville — Afternoons In Utopia lyrics

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)
FOR INKA

Acrobats & Comets are floating by so fast
Children's faces S.M.I.L.E. like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here

You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia

Mighty Maomoondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for Easter Time on Mars
Paint your hats and shoes with flowers and with stars
Singing in Metropolitan Operas

You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia
