10:15 on a Saturday night
And the tap drips under the strip light
And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip...
Waiting for the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip...
It's always the same

Grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
No sound

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already gone away
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

You wear your smile like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame but douse any ideas of passion
Carry your love in a trinket hanging round your throat
Always inviting, always exciting but I must not take off my coat
Well I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
That it's not you
You ask me questions that I never wanted to hear
I am the only one just until you finish this year
I would murder you if I had the alibi here in my hand
But you just laugh because you don't understand
That I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
It's not you
That it's not you
No, it's not you
It's not you

Slowly fading blue
The Eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun
The night-time follows
Silent and black
Mirror pool
Mirrors the lonely place
Where I meet you
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
And burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips
Slide under my hand
Swollen lips
Whisper my name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O...
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage fades away
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O...
Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like fire
Flare
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo

The soul lives forever
Always ends sometime
Now I'm alone, alone and cold
Under painted skies
Remembering the love that we came alive
And I can only scream
As a lonely cry
Forever
The summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it has never been
I lift my hand to wipe the tears
The tears
I just can't go on
Now my love has gone away
Now my imaginary world is fading fast
Dreams I dreamed could never last
I lived my innocence in the past
And my broken heart
The summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it has never been
I lift my hand to wipe the tears
The tears
I just can't go on
Now my love has gone away
The summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it had never been
I lift my hand to wipe the tears
The tears
I just can't go on
Now my love has gone
I just can't go on
Now my love has gone away

I know that I don't love you
But I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers
If I want anything from you
You say that if you'll leave me
It will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
You trust in all my lies
You'll believe it when you see it
be forever
So you let me have my way
But I'll make it that I'll leave you
'Cos I just need myself
I just need myself
I know that I don't love you
But I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers
If I want anything from you
You think that if you'll leave me
It will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need...

I paint your nails
And brush your hair
Until you are so very
Beautiful
I whisper in your ear
And on my knees I tell you that you are
Desirable
You don't need to cage me
To close all the doors
As long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Play with me
Play with me
I stroke your neck
And lick your neck
And do just what you tell me to
Sometimes I'll beg
But only when you want me to
Don't need to cage me
To close all the doors
As long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Play with me
Play with me
I know that you need me
I know that you care
You know that I may not love you
But I will always be there
I paint your nails
And brush your hair
And tell you that you are so very
Beautiful
I whisper in your ear
And on my knees I tell you that you are
Desirable
Don't need to cage me
To close all the doors
As long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Won't you play with me?
Play with me
Won't you play with me?
Please come play with me

Dressed in Berlin black
I was only playing
Disguise my words to fool you
From what I was saying
Mud trench
Meat stench
The Fatherland is looking on
Grip you in a luger lock...
This will be the big one
World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend
Heaven heaven
Give me pride
Give me a golden hand
Smash them with an iron rule
Spit them out like sand
Sit and wait
Then run like hell
Run like hell
One time again
Sow the seeds of hate
Underneath destruction...
World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend

Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train
It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
Because everyone's jumping
Everybody else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train

Midnight in the subway
She's on her way home
She tries hard not to run
But she feels she's not alone
Echoes of footsteps follow close behind
But she dare not turn around
Turn around

We sit in the same room
Side by side
I give you the wrong lines
Feed you
Accuracy
Accuracy
Look into my eyes
We both smile
I kill you
Without trying
That's
Accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy
Practice all day for accuracy
Mirror on the wall

And the tap drips under the strip light
And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip...
Waiting for the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip...
It's always the same

Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts
So you live in the end
And you mistrust the start
Because you don't think it counts
But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself
You're just a heroin face
You see a heroin face in the mirror
And someone is clutching your breath
And you believe in the needle of night
You're only doing your best
But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself
You believe in the needle of night
And someone is clutching your breath
So you mistrust the start
By always running away
But you'll never come back
You're just a heroin face
Heroin face

You're begging me to stay
But I'm laughing in your face
You're so desperate
Not to let those years of care
All go to waste
But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You have to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice
I'm me
I'm cold
I'm cold
I'm told
I'd love to love you girl
But my body has just been sold
