Songtexte At the Wrong Time - The Professor

Finally his footsteps fall to the ground
That madman, that surgeon appears
Ashen faced while he's dripping sweat
In a dizzy haze paranoiac'ly shouts
Drawing the gaze of a lonely tramp
Who just wants his health for free
Mad harassment in deluded rage
He falls to his face from the fear

And a change has been made
When a lonely beggar turns to dust
A doctor awakens alone
And stumbles to the mission home
She sees his eyes as about to die
And walks him off to an empty cot
Five seconds' delay when it's pressing time
Makes a missed encounter as fate's lot

We don't know when he'll arrive
Is it already? a month? or a week?
We don't know if she lives or dies
Can these recordings help us to see?

And a change has been made
Will we travel to the moon on wings of peace?
That fateful day untraced
When negotiations stay tyrant's release

And as they spoke for months on end, the rockets made ready to fire
By heavy water now complete the nationalist bombs would spell defeat
East and west will fall as friends grinding the whole world to mire
For that pacifist call in the states surrendered imperial seat

And a change has been made
Did the surgeon create this circle of hell?
That fateful day untraced
When the way of peace once did no one well

But we know that she was right
We know that peace was the way of life
Yes we know that she was right
For eternity but at the wrong time

"Now i have to confess
Though I know you'll think me a fool
But the truth is that I am in love with her"

"Captain, I know it hurts,
But we both know that she must die"
