Mata Hari |
There are days I just can't make it even though I try to fake it |
When I wish that I could take it, turn a page and start anew |
In a world with no tomorrow, I could throw away my sorrow |
And pretend you'd let me borrow all the magic and wonder of you |
And for a while feel alive |
|
Mata Hari, any man would pay the price of sweet surrender |
Mata Hari, for the promise in your eyes – it was so tender |
Those you conquered with your dance never did have a chance |
You walked away laughing and left them alone with their shame |
|
As our dreams are slowly dyin', we find no escape in lyin' |
Why should we go on denyin' life is never what it seems? |
But in times when I am lonely, I keep thinkin' of you only |
Even though you'd never known me, can't you visit me once in my life |
And let me feel you were real? |
|
Mata Hari, any man would pay the price of sweet surrender |
Mata Hari, for the promise in your eyes – it was so tender |
Those you conquered with your dance – they never did have a chance |
You walked away laughing and left them alone with their shame |
|
Mata Hari, any man would pay the price of sweet surrender |
Mata Hari, for the promise in your eyes – it was so tender |
All the secrets sealed with their lips, they gave away for a kiss |
The eye of the morning and star of the night was your name |
