I would say I'm sorryIf I thought that it would change your mindBut I know that this timeI have said too much, been too unkind
I try to laugh about itCover it all up with liesI try to laugh about itHiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
I would break down at your feetAnd beg forgiveness, plead with youBut I know that it's too lateAnd now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about itCover it all up with liesI try to laugh about itHiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cry
I would tell you that I loved youIf I thought that you would stayBut I know that it's no useThat you've already gone away
Misjudged your limitsPushed you too farTook you for grantedI thought that you needed me more, more, more
Now I would do most anythingTo get you back by my sideBut I just keep on laughingHiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cryBoys don't cryBoys don't cry

Waiting for the telephone to ringAnd I'm wondering where she's beenAnd I'm crying for yesterdayAnd the tap drips
Drip drip drip...
It's always the same

Don't say what you meanYou might spoil your faceIf you walk in the crowdYou won't leave any traceIt's always the sameYou're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you longTo learn the new smileYou have to adaptOr you'll be out of styleIt's always the sameYou're jumping someone else's train
If you pick up on it quickYou can say you were thereAgain and again and againYou're jumping someone else's train
It's the latest waveThat you've been craving forThe old ideal was getting such a boreNow you're back in lineGoing not quite quite as farBut in half the timeEveryone's happyThey're finally all the sameBecause everyone's jumpingEverybody else's train

Standing on a beachWith a gun in my handStaring at the seaStaring at the sandStaring down the barrelAt the Arab on the groundSee his open mouthBut hear no sound
I'm aliveI'm deadI'm the strangerKilling an Arab
I can turn and walk awayOr I can fire the gunStaring at the skyStaring at the sunWhichever I chooseIt amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
I'm aliveI'm deadI'm the strangerKilling an Arab
Feel the steel butt jumpSmooth in my handStaring at the seaStaring at the sandStaring at myselfReflected in the eyes ofThe dead man on the beach
The dead manOn the beach
I'm aliveI'm deadI'm the strangerKilling an Arab

Slowly fading blueThe eastern hollowsCatch the dying sunThe night time followsSilent and blackMirror poolMirrors are the lonely placeWhere I meet you
See your headIn the fading lightThrough the darkYour eyes shine bright
We burn like fireBurn like fire in CairoBurn like fireBurn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veilSilken hipsSlide under my handSwollen lipsWhisper my nameAnd I yearnYou take me in your armsAnd start to burn
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Then the heat disappearsAnd the mirror fades away
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Burn like fireBurn like fire in CairoBurn like a fire in CairoBurn like a fire, fire, fireBlaze like a fire in CairoBlaze like fire, fire, fireFlareWe burn like fireBurn like fire in Cairo
