Heaven 17 - GEISHA BOYS AND TEMPLE GIRLS Lyrics

Look ahead, on the screen
Slim perfect creatures and they're just 16
Their eyes meet, this is it
The contact so much more than words can transmit

He stands up, she gives in
Their first encounter, their embrace within
A short ride, they arrive
There is no doubt that true love will survive

We are the geisha boys doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones doing it right
Here come the temple girls looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised for the first time

If you turn away from the screen
Another version can be seen
She is black, he is white
They love each other but they also fight

Back from work, she's not home
Another evening angry, all alone
She arrives and he departs
Misunderstandings, then the breakdown starts

Here we are late at night we are both refugees
There is no easy way let it be right
Anything's possible if you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere if you're not right

We are the geisha boys doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones doing it right
Here come the temple girls looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised for the first time

There's not much that you can do
Choose either one of them it could be you
The first time could be the only time
The odds against you and your hopes decline

Do it right or do it wrong
Console yourself that either won't last long
Geisha boys or temple girls
Make contact or remain in separate worlds

We are the geisha boys doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones doing it right
Here come the temple girls looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised for the first time

Here we are late at night we are both refugees
There is no easy way let it be right
Anything's possible if you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere if you're not right

We are the geisha boys doing it wrong again
They are the chosen ones doing it right
Here come the temple girls looking for sanctuary
Naked as advertised for the first time

Here we are late at night we are both refugees
There is no easy way let it be right
Anything's possible if you can fake it, but
The wrong place is anywhere if you're not right
