Many men have taken you to where you want to go Promised you affection in the cab that took your home Marvelled at your courage on their way to make you tame They never even knew your name You've seen the light break thought The windows beating with their hips Lighting up the sweat that climbed from moustache to the lip And thought their friends will know about your body and your flame The'll never even know your name Searching out a stranger as if ending up a rhyme In this palace love is simply measured out in time Whispering a name of some forgotten Persian queen Leaving you razor, where the number should have been Many've come before and many move have yet to come Flexed their tatooed mussles as if beating on a drum As their minds are weakened with the ending of their game They never even knew your name
