Nits - Ivory Boy Lyrics
Ivory BoyThe ivory boy came to Hanburg and CologneHe bought three one way tickets for the trainHe travelled with his sister and a girl who looked like Lili MarleneHe said: 'Cancer, cancer is a hurricaneBlows away my body and tears out my brainBut the songs you play somehow ease the pain'You're keeping my senses awakeSometime just before going on stageThe girl with the pale and the beautiful faceSuddenly stood next to meLike a ghost in the house of mysteryShe said: 'Cancer, cancer, I'm a little flameThat started this fire, burning his brainAnd I don't know who gave me a face like Lili Marlene'How can you fade away. Like a light on a dark highwayA million years from now, I see you when the light changesKeeping your senses awake, awakeSo the lights went down and the crowd was darkLike the moon that covers the sunExcept for two white faces that slowly became oneHow can you fade away. Like a light on a dark highwayA million years from now. I see you when the light changesI will be there
