Cover art for Road Movie To Berlin lyrics by They Might Be Giants

I always thought it was about WWII, but the holocaust in particular. For example, it taliks about "THe nicest of the damned." And "can't go out the way we drove in" is sort of a weird way of talking about the gas chambers... gruesome, but an interesting salute to the victims. If this is the case, that is.
