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, 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, winners play to win
Always love the sinner, you may even like the sin
The door that used to open has 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
