Fire In Cairo [Three Imaginary Boys, 1979]
Intro: (F5) - (F#5)
(Bbm) (G#) (C#)
Slowly fading blue
(G#) (F#)
the eastern hollows.
Catch the dying sun,
night time follows.
Silent and black,
mirror pool...
mirrors, the lonely place
where I meet you...
(C5) (C#5)
See your head
(C5) (C#5)
in the fading light
(C5) (C#5)
and through the dark
(C5) (C#5)
your eyes shine bright
(Bbm) (G#)
and burn like fire
(C#) (G#) (F#)
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...
(F5) (F#5) - (G#5)
f.i.r.e.i.n.c.a.i.r.o
(F5)
then the heat disappears
(F#5)
and the mirage
fades away...

burn like a fire in Cairo
(G#) (F#)
burn like a ... fire [fire, fire]
blaze like a fire in Cairo
blaze like a fire
flare... [with a wonderful light like a fire in Cairo]
burn like fire
burn like
(F#) (G#) - (Bbm)
fire in Cairo.
