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 |
