Keep your head down   Keep your head down   While they're firing low   You're too young child   To know the difference      Oh, my pretty   Oh, my sweet girl   It's a marvelous place   They put weights down   In your coat tails to burn you out      Lest you fly   Lest you take off   And show whomever what's what   It's one outrageous lie after another      Turn their lights out   Change the channel   Before we lose the heart   To fight against belief   In what they're saying      There's a hotel with a dark room   At the end of a corridor   I will meet you   To the strains of Allah      We will lie back   On a pillow of the whitest snow   And the silence we were promised   Will engulf us      Lay your head down   Keep your head down   While they're firing low   You're too young child   You're too young child      We will wake up   From the dreams that bury us   We will tunnel our way out   By moonlight      From the dark room   To the white streets and the snow banks   We'll invest in one another's future      Oh, my pretty   Oh, my sweet girl   It's a marvelous place   She designed it   With escape routes   For you and me      So to the library   With your new card   Grab your favorite books   Look for blueprints   To the strains of Allah   Here we go, here we go      Benevolence is in back   Of everyplace you look   It's not a monstrous face   She is hiding      If I see her   I will tell you   You'll come quickly   If you see her   Don't hesitate just go   But 'til then      Keep your head down   Keep your head down   While they're firing low   You're too young child   You're too young child      You're too young child   Here we go
