4:37 A.M. (Arabs with Knives and West German Skies) Lyrics by Roger Waters

The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking

1984

[Verse 1]
Sleep, sleep, I know that I'm only dreaming
(Leave her alone... Get out... Out... Get out of my house)
Through closed eyes I see West German skies on the ceiling
And I want to get back
To the girl with the rucksack
To feel her flaxen hair
I want to be there
See the sun going down
Behind Krupps Steelworks
On the outskirts of some German town
[Interlude]
Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren, ha, ha, ha, ha!
(La, la, la, la, la-la)
Willkommen in Königsberg, ha, ha, ha, ha!
(La, la, la, la, la-la)
Wollen Sie tanzen mit mir, oder trinken Bier, ha, ha, ha, ha?
[Verse 2]
Thank you, but...
This young lady and I
Will just finish this bottle of wine
It was kind of you but
I think we'll just say goodnight (Leave us alone)
Goodnight (Leave us alone)
[Outro]
"Could I have the keys to 1 4 3 please?"
"There you are"
"Thank you, goodnight"
"Hello, yes, I'd like to order breakfast please"
"I'd like coffee for two and toast with marmalade, no, marmalade"
