Nits - Ivory Boy lyrics
rate meIvory Boy<br />
The ivory boy came to Hanburg and Cologne<br />
He bought three one way tickets for the train<br />
He travelled with his sister and a girl who looked like Lili Marlene<br />
He said: 'Cancer, cancer is a hurricane<br />
Blows away my body and tears out my brain<br />
But the songs you play somehow ease the pain'<br />
You're keeping my senses awake<br />
Sometime just before going on stage<br />
The girl with the pale and the beautiful face<br />
Suddenly stood next to me<br />
Like a ghost in the house of mystery<br />
She said: 'Cancer, cancer, I'm a little flame<br />
That started this fire, burning his brain<br />
And I don't know who gave me a face like Lili Marlene'<br />
How can you fade away. Like a light on a dark highway<br />
A million years from now, I see you when the light changes<br />
Keeping your senses awake, awake<br />
So the lights went down and the crowd was dark<br />
Like the moon that covers the sun<br />
Except for two white faces that slowly became one<br />
How can you fade away. Like a light on a dark highway<br />
A million years from now. I see you when the light changes<br />
I will be there
