Paroles de Baghdad Cafe

By the tigris riverside Once a city oh so bright 762 AD Risen by the euphrates Place of ancient tales and romance City once full of song and dance Stage of the thousand and 1 nights The stars above you were so bright Once the shining babylon Now the glory dead and gone Sad victim of tyrant greed A crossfire of divergent creed They're gone The dreams Goes on The screams There's no more coffee at baghdad cafe There's no more romance at baghdad cafe Great mesopotamia Now there's smoke, blood, and fire Founded by the mansur tzar Alas thy middle eastern star Smell of gunpowder and napalm Fragrant kingdom dead and gone Chessboard of some deranged fools What's happened to this historic jewel? Metropolis for 6000 years Until destroyed by foreign spears Now blood is flowing at your feet. Will you resurrect in peace? They're gone The dreams Goes on The screams There's no more coffee at baghdad cafe There's no more romance at baghdad cafe Baghdad cafe Baghdad cafe
