I wake up every night (to the sound) to the sound of breaking glass

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...
