Mata Hari Lyrics

There are days I just can't make it
Even though I try to take it
When I wish that I could fake it,
Turn a page and start anew.
In a world with no tomorrow,
I could throw away my sorrow
And pretend you'd let me borrow
All the magic and wonder of you
And for a while feel alive.

[Refrain]
Mata Hari,
Any man would pay the price of sweet surrender.
Mata Hari,
For the promise in your eyes, it was so tender.
Those you conquered with your dance
Never did have a chance.
You walked away laughing
And left them alone with their shame.

As our dreams are slowly dyin',
We find no escape in lyin'.
Why should we go on denyin'
Life is never what it seems?
But in times when I am lonely,
I keep thinkin' of you only.
Even though you'd never known me,
Can't you visit me once in my life
And let me feel you were real?

[Refrain]

Mata Hari,
Any man would pay the price of sweet surrender.
Mata Hari,
For the promise in your eyes, it was so tender.
All the secrets sealed with their lips,
They gave away for a kiss.
The eye of the morning
And star of the night was your name.
