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!
