MURDER REPORT
On a Friday in Dallas, Texas,
22nd of November, 1963
JFK who was called "Big Ace," was murdered
one shot in the neck, and two in the head,
his funeral was set at the end of November,
Harry Oswald shot him for some reason,
we were in the boyscouts, played soccer,
murder report starts without a word of love.
On a Saturday in Tel Aviv, city without a sky,
4th of November, 1995,
he was murdered...it seems twice,
two shots from the gun of an assassin.
His funeral was set two days later,
one madman shot him from close range,
we were at home, we just sat like that,
after that we went to cry in the square.
How many tears, how many candles?
How much craziness can still be identified?
How many days, how much darkness
will pass until...
all will be forgotten?
On a Sunday in an unknown place,
4th of November
23rd of November
1995,
I write this song out of yearning,
where will I go to now and what shall I request?
The days are days of fury,
there are those who say that it is so
the days are the days that once were
along with the days of now,
how will rest come over the land of fear,
and only the question - who will yet be murdered?
How many tears?
