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!
