I miss all those days when I used to be a flower girl
What you're about to witness is real
This is how midnight praises make me feel
I'm smoking cigarettes in Cairo

I wanna say goodbye, yo
Take a goddamn good look
The Bible is my favorite book
I'm smoking cigarettes in Cairo
I wanna say goodbye, yo

I am carried along when you fall
I got used to loving men with addictions
I would wait for the angle that brought my beauty into view

I would drink, I would drink
God, if you only knew
I have adored men with strange habits
And I still do
I still hear those midnight praises
I sing them just for you

I'm smoking cigarettes in Cairo
I wanna say goodbye, yo
