The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

Slowly fading blue 
The eastern hollows catch 
The dying sun 
Night-time follows 
Silence and black 
Mirror pool mirrors 
The lonely place 
Where I meet you 
See your head 
In the fading light 
And through the dark 
Your eyes shine bright 

And burn 
Like fire 
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 

F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
Then the heat disappears 
And the mirage 
Fades away 

F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 
F-I-are-E-I-N-see-A-I-are-O 

Burn like a fire in Cairo 
Burn like a 
Fire 
Blaze like a fire in Cairo 
Blaze like a 
Fire 
Flare 
Burn like fire 
Burn like 
Fire in Cairo
