The Cure
Fire In Cairo (John Peel Session 12/78)
[Verse 1]
Slowly fading blue, the eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun, the night-time follows
Silence and black mirror pool
Mirrors a lonely place where I meet you

[Pre-Chorus]
See your head in the fading light
And through the dark your eyes shine bright

[Chorus]
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo

[Verse 2]
Shifting crimson veil, silken hips
Slide under my hand, sullen lips
Whisper my name and I yearn
You take me in your arms, start to burn

[Refrain]
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
Then the heat disappears and the miragе fades away
[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O, oh, oh

[Outro]
Burn like fire, burn likе fire in Cairo
Burn like a fire in Cairo, burn like a
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo, blaze like
Fire, fire, fire, fire, flare
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
