Description:
I met her in a Dubai disco...
Lyrics:
Miss Damascus
I met her in a Dubai disco
Introduced by the emir’s cousin
If not for that, I wouldn’t approach her
I didn’t want to seem aggressive
We talked about the world situation
The plight of Palestinians, the meaning of terrorism, the merits of a two state solution
But we couldn’t talk about love
No, we couldn’t talk about love
So we talked about history
About the Sykes-Pico agreement, the split between the Shia and Sunni, the origins of Baathism
We couldn’t talk about our deepest feelings
We couldn’t broach our mutual attraction
She would meet my eye fleetingly
And then look away—so far away
And so we danced
Most respectfully
Most honorably
We weren’t touching
Her cousin watching
Always watching…
So we danced
I tried not to stare
I did not look at her ass
Most respectfully
Most honorably
But we couldn’t talk about love
No we couldn’t talk about love
I would devote my life to world peace
If I could only touch her
