Lyrics
[Intro] Haha-haha-ha-ha Geisha, geisha, geisha, fire Geisha, geisha, geisha, fire [Verse 1] How does it feel To treat me like you do? When you've laid your hands upon me And told me who you are I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how do I feel? Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They'll turn away no more And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today [Verse 2] I see a ship in the harbour I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortune I'd be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how should I feel? Now I stand here waiting [Bridge] (Fire, fire) Now I stand here waiting (Fire, fire, fire, geisha, geisha) What is this, too much? What is this, too much? What is this, too much? What is this, too much? (Geisha, geisha, geisha, fire) (Geisha, geisha, geisha, fire) (Geisha, geisha, geisha, geisha, geisha) [Verse 3] Thought I told you to leave me When I walked down to the beach Tell me, how does it feel When your heart grows cold? [Outro] (Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire)
