RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics : "Honeymoon In Beirut"

(Springfield)
I wake up every night (to the sound)
To the sound of breaking glass

Got troops in the bed
And tanks in the hall
I kidnapped and held for ransom (the one in me)

The one in me that you loved
We wit for the fall
And put emotional bullet holes in the wall

And we both
Keep sending signals all is well:
"Wish you were here"


[Chorus:]
Honeymoon in Beirut

Although I keep on sending postcards
from heaven (tell me)
Why do I stay (I don't know)

Honeymoon in Beirut
And we still keep pretending
sixes are sevens (tell me)

Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
(this is no honeymoon) no

This is no honeymoon
(there is no honeymoon) no


Honeymoon in Beirut
there are no peace talks pending,
no quarter given (there's just)

blood on the bed, where there used to be love

Strategy and maneuvers (have replaced)

Any love that was here
We have dinner in silence
And bullets with beer

I don't know what you want (my defeat)
Or complete surrender
Or peace in our time

While in bed we draw the battle line
And we sit, out in the rain
Writing cards to friends back home

The weather is fine

[Chorus]


And we stand out in the rain
Smiling as we sink like a stone

And hope for the end (whatever it is)

[Chorus]
