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
