The town lies there in its naked light
The night spits out its hunters
Desperados gaze at me
Cold glances under my skin
My body enhances femininity
Idle complicity
It's a light in the dark
Our motorcars
stop here - we both are
So close to the fire
So close to the taboo
We kiss the night
Only I and you
I am your dark cherub
You the sphinx in a black dress
We're both ready - we are
so close to the fire
We hold on tight and conquer our fear
We like to breathe danger
We love the abyss and feel
invulnerable in the shadows
The false alarms of happiness
A breath of liberty is perverse
And like two paratroopers
For us there will be going back
So close to the fire
So close to the taboo
We kiss the night
Only I and you
I am your dark cherub
You the sphinx in a black dress
We're both ready - we are
so close to the fire
When the night recaptures its hunters in the morning
We swear with a last look
We'll ask no false questions and our secret
we won't break - we are both
So close to the fire
So close to the taboo
We kiss the night
Only I and you
I am your dark cherub
You the sphinx in a black dress
We're both ready - we are
so close to the fire
So close to the taboo
We kiss the night
Only I and you
I am your dark cherub
You the sphinx in a black dress
We're both ready - we are
so close to the fire
So close to the fire...
So close to the fire...
So close to the fire...
So close to the fire...
