Cairo

Lightning flashes across The Egyptian night sky and Standing on my terrace I can see Those ancient pyramids Towering over the city miles Wide, so high they appear To touch the stars and you Feel as though they are gazing Down upon you with an all Seeing Eye... Well and I can feel the cool Desert winds through my Velveteen velour and it feels Good just like the first time you Touched me in your gold and Nothing more, how did I ever Forget that, well there’s just Something about being in CAIRO That brings it all back, back when The Spinks had not even been Built yet and my first time down On the banks of the river Nile Soaking wet, well how did I ever Forget that, there’s just something About being in CAIRO that brings it All back... I can feel your arms around me on This stormy Egyptian night now I Remember you said you’d love me Throughout all eternity and you'd Come back to me again, death is not The end, I remember all that now and Where to find the incantation that will Bring you back to life, how did I ever Forget that, there’s just something about Being in CAIRO that brings it all back... Oh in shadow of lightning and candlelight In CAIRO, in CAIRO tonight!
