Cairo

(álbum: Belong - 2017)

You restless son
You ribbon winner
Did everything so they could see

Did it turn out right?
You living with her?
Are you looking for a chance to leave?

Cairo come back home
Twenty-eight days of delirium
Three is a crowd and two is in love
But I can't sleep alone

Cairo oh my soul
Twenty-eight nights and now I'm low
Can't get by and I can't let go
And I can't sleep alone

Did you try too hard?
Your mind too meager
The whispers follow when you leave

You read it wrong
A bold-face fever
You've stolen everything that you believe

No face for feeding
Watch you grow thinner
No steady stream of human life

Now you're leeching blood
You red-mouthed sinner
Chasing anything into the night

Cairo come back home
Twenty-eight days of delirium
Three is a crowd and two is in love
But I can't sleep alone

Cairo oh my soul
Twenty-eight nights and now I'm low
Can't get by and I can't let go
And I can't sleep alone

Cairo
