I knew she was a feline She moved with ease and grace Her green eyes, they held mystery No emotion on her face The European female she's here She speaks her, lips are kissing The air around her face I don't always understand her I love her air and grace The European female she's here The European female's here We'll be together for a thousand years And do you really fear That you might fall? I saw her in the Strasse And in the Rue as well Pursued her in the high street She had me in her spell The European female she's here The European female's here We'll be together for a thousand years And do you really fear That you might fall? The European female's here We'll be together for a thousand years And do you really fear That you might fall? The European female's here We'll be together for a thousand years And do you really fear That you might fall?
