Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun
Night-time follows
Silence and black
Mirror pool
And mirrors are 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
(x2)
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
F-I-R-E in C-A-I-R-O (x3)
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage fades away
F-I-R-E in C-A-I-R-O (x8)
Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a...
...fire (x3)
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like...
...fire (x3)
Flare
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
