Rick Springfield - Honeymoon In Beirut lyrics

Your rating:

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 wait for the fall and put emotional bullet holes in the wall
And we both (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 six's are sevens
(Tell me) why can't we say
There is no honeymoon (this is no honeymoon) no (no)
This is no honeymoon (there is no honeymoon) no (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 maneuvres (have replaced) and 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

(Solo)

And we stand (we stand) out in the rain, smiling as we sink like a stone
Hope for the end (whatever it is)

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 six's are sevens
(Tell me) why can't we say

Honeymoon in Beirut, (tell me) why do I stay
Honeymoon in Beirut, (tell me) why do we stay
Honeymoon in Beirut...
