Ivory Boy Lyrics

Ivory Boy lyrics

Ivory Boy



The ivory boy came to Hanburg and Cologne

He bought three one way tickets for the train

He travelled with his sister and a girl who looked like Lili Marlene



He said: 'Cancer, cancer is a hurricane

Blows away my body and tears out my brain

But the songs you play somehow ease the pain'



You're keeping my senses awake



Sometime just before going on stage

The girl with the pale and the beautiful face

Suddenly stood next to me

Like a ghost in the house of mystery



She said: 'Cancer, cancer, I'm a little flame

That started this fire, burning his brain

And I don't know who gave me a face like Lili Marlene'



How can you fade away. Like a light on a dark highway

A million years from now, I see you when the light changes



Keeping your senses awake, awake



So the lights went down and the crowd was dark

Like the moon that covers the sun

Except for two white faces that slowly became one



How can you fade away. Like a light on a dark highway

A million years from now. I see you when the light changes



I will be there
