the sun never sweats

bolder than the pirates who used to rule the sea

braver than the natives

who never heard of tea

they never knew what hit them

said the spaniards later on

empire! it was here and now it's gone

even the biggest elephant never forgets

and the sun never sweats. no

the sun never sweats

you were younger than a virgin

and older than the sea

you were angel

you were devil

and i was all of me

you knew you met your master

when i made you stay at home

woman! whatever made you roam

even the hardest concrete never quite sets

and the sun never sweats. no

the sun never sweats

losing is for losers

and winners play to win

always love the sinner

you may even like the sin

the door that used to open has now closed without a crack

woman

you're like the empire

and i still want you back

we may be gods or just big marionettes

but the sun never sweats

life is a gamble

and we're all placing our bets

and the sun never sweats. no

the sun never sweats
