      10.15
      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 drip drip 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 drip drip drip drip drip

      It's always the same

      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 could kill you
      Without trying
      That's accuracy
      Accuracy
      Accuracy
      ...
      Accuracy
      Accuracy
      Practice all day for accuracy

      The sun rises slowly
      On another day
      The eastern sky grows
      Cold
      Winter in water colours
      Shades of grey

      Something
      Something holds me
      Holds me hypnotized

      I stare at the window
      Stare at the window
      Waiting for the day
      To go
      Winter in water colours

      The eastern hollows catch
      The dying sun
      Night-time follows
      Silence 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

      FIREINCAIRO
      FIREINCAIRO
      FIREINCAIRO
      Then the heat disappears
      And the mirage
      Fades away

      Blaze like a fire in Cairo
      Blaze like a
      Fire

      You carry your love in a trinket
      Hanging round your throat
      Always inviting

      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
      And you just laugh
      'cause you don't understand

      Walk across the garden
      In the footsteps of my shadow
      See the lights out
      No one's home
      In amongst the statues
      Stare at nothing in
      The garden moves
      Can you help me?

      Close my eyes
      And hold so tightly
      Scared of what the morning brings
      Waiting for tomorrow
      Never comes
      Deep inside
      The empty feeling
      All the night time leaves me
      Three imaginary boys

      Slipping through the door
      Hear my heart beats in the hallway
      Echoes
      Round and round
      Inside my head
      Drifting up the stairs
      I see the steps behind me
      Disappearing
      Can you help me?

      Close my eyes
      And hold so tightly
      Scared of what the morning brings
      Waiting for tomorrow
      Never comes
      Deep inside
      The empty feeling
      All the night time leaves me
      Three imaginary boys sing in my
      Sleep sweet child
      The moon will change your mind

      See the cracked reflection
      Standing still
      Before the bedroom mirror
      Over my shoulder
      But no one's there
      Whispers in the silence
      Pressing close behind me
      Pressing close behind
      Can you help me?
      Can you help me?
      Can you help me?
