I wake up every night (to the sound)
   To the sound of breaking glass
   Got troops in the bed
   And tanks in the hall
   I kidnapped and held for ransom (the one in me)
   The one in me that you loved
   We wait for the fall
   And put emotional bullet holes in the wall
   And we both, keep sending signals all is well
   "Wish you were here"
  
   Honeymoon In Beirut
   Although I keep on sending postcards
   From heaven (tell me)
   Why do I stay (I don't know)
   Honeymoon In Beirut
   And we still keep pretending
   Sixes are sevens (tell me)
   Why can't we say
   There is no honeymoon
   This is no honeymoon, no
   This is no honeymoon
   There is no honeymoon, no
  
   Honeymoon in Beirut
   There are no peace talks pending
   No quarter given (there's just)
   Blood on the bed, where there used to be love
  
   Strategy and maneuvers (have replaced)
   Any love that was here
   We have dinner in silence
   And bullets with beer
   I don't know what you want (my defeat)
   Or complete surrender
   Or peace in our time
   While in bed we draw the battle line
   And we sit, out in the rain
   Writing cards to friends back home
   The weather is fine
  
   Honeymoon In Beirut
   Although I keep on sending postcards
   From heaven (tell me)
   Why do I stay (I don't know)
   Honeymoon In Beirut
   And we still keep pretending
   Sixes are sevens (tell me)
   Why can't we say
   There is no honeymoon
   This is no honeymoon, no
   This is no honeymoon
   There is no honeymoon, no
  
   And we stand out in the rain
   Smiling as we sink like a stone
   And hope for the end (whatever it is)
  
   Honeymoon In Beirut
   Although I keep on sending postcards
   From heaven (tell me)
   Why do I stay (I don't know)
   Honeymoon In Beirut
   And we still keep pretending
   Sixes are sevens (tell me)
   Why can't we say
   There is no honeymoon
   This is no honeymoon, no
   This is no honeymoon
   There is no honeymoon, no
