We sit in the same room
Side by side
I give you the wrong lines
Feed you
Accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy

Look into my eyes
We both smile
Kill you without trying
That's
Accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy

An observant refrain
Accuracy
Accuracy
Practice all day for accuracy

Mirror, mirror
On the wall

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time I have said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

(Haven't got any words)

The barber chair falls to the floor
He rolls in tears
But he cries no more
Someone feels stand through his eyes
And he moves his arm against the light

Tips his hair
Swallows his dreams
The silence drowns his final screams
I said it to the naked child
I'm alone with her
Faded smiles

Tips his hair
Swallows his dreams
The silence drowns his final screams

Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun
The nighttime follows
Silent and black
Mirror pool
Mirrors the lonely place
Where I meet you

You raise your head in the fading light
And through the dark your eyes shine bright
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Blaze like fire
Blaze like fire in Cairo
Flare like fire, flare
Like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo

(One, two, three, four)

No light
No heat
No people on the street
No street
No home
No people at home
No cars
No planes
No people on the planes
No food
No drink
No people, don't need to think

Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Everything's coming to a
Everything's coming to a
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt

Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts
So you live in the end
And you mistrust the start
Because you don't think it counts

But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself

You're just a heroin face

You see a heroin face in the mirror
And someone is clutching your breast
And you believe in the needle of night
You're only doing your best

But you'll pay for yourself

I know that I don't love you
But I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers
If I want anything from you
You say that if you'll leave me
It will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
You trust in all my lies
You'll believe it when you see it
be forever
So you let me have my way
But I'll make it that I'll leave you
'Cos I just need myself

I want to be old
And creak by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It's all I desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old
I want false teeth
And not be able to chew
I want to be senile
A centenarian fool
I want lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
And I want to be slow
To be old

Begging me to stay
But I'm laughing in your face
So desperate not to let those years of care go to waste
But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You've got to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice
I'm me
I'm cold
I'm cold
I'm told

I'd like to love you, girl
But my body
My body
Has just been sold

You're begging me to stay
But I'm laughing in your face

You wear your smile like
It was going out of fashion
Dressed to inflame
But douse any ideas of passion

You carry your love in a trinket
Hanging around your throat
Always inviting, always exciting
But I must not take off my coat

I'm tired of hanging around
I want someone new
Not sure who I've got in mind
But I know
That it's not you
That it's not you

You ask me questions

I paint your nails
And brush your hair
Until you are so very
Beautiful
I whisper in your ear
And on my knees I tell you that you are
Desirable

You don't need to cage me
To close all the doors
As long as you keep me
I will always be yours
Play with me
Play with me

I stroke your neck
And lick your neck
And do just what you tell me to
Sometimes I'll beg
But only when you want me to

Midnight in the subway
She's on her way home
She tries hard not to run
But she feels she's not alone
Echoes of footsteps follow close behind
But she dare not turn around
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around

The soul lives forever
Always ends sometime
Now I'm alone, alone and cold
Under painted skies
Remembering the love that we came alive
And I can only scream
As a lonely cry
Forever

The summer goes by upon the wind
Goes by as though it has never been
I lift my hand to wipe the tears
The tears

I just can't go on
Now my love has gone away
Now my imaginary world is fading fast

Dressed in Berlin black
I was only playing
Disguise my words to fool you
From what I was saying
Mud trench
Meat stench
The Fatherland is looking on
Grip you in a luger lock...
This will be the big one

World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend

Heaven heaven
Give me pride
Give me a golden hand
Smash them with an iron rule
