When I saw your eyes
I saw you Mimi
I was bringing us home
And I did what I could

The babies were flaming
I had to run them down
But when I saw you Mimi
I had to get into you

Your eyes on my soul
You can turn lead into gold
I know that I crossed the line
Mimi I know you're a gold mine

I was so lazy
All hands and thighs
Those flaming babies
Came down from the sky

We couldn't have saved them
Oh Mimi don't cry
But when I saw you leaving me through that front window
My life flashed before my eyes
