They come from all around Nobody checks a thing Men walk mysteriously Then the ladies follow in Take the quietest giant steps For a cruise in the morning hours Stop and stare like they're all possessed Their inhibitions get devoured Everybody is on a quest And the rest of the world can wait My lips are longing for the taste Underneath Tahitian skies Danger is divine Knowing every lover lies And I don't mind They live in secrecy At no fixed address Before the heat is on Everyone escape to rest There's a hustler beside the bar As a wind with an evil eye Heaven knows what he does in the day What he turns into at night Every dame is surrounding him But his eyes tell them it's too late My lips are longing for a taste Underneath Tahitian skies Danger is divine Knowing every lover lies And I don't mind
