Tut-ench-amun Songtext

FalkenhorstBeen and seen down flight from ChicagoAll aboard the African QueenI am on a night boat down to CairoFeeling like a tourist with a foreign man abroadTells it like he thinks it is, but I know he is fraudThere is a map tucked under his shoulderand a cap perched on his headIf he looked any older, he might as well be deadDressed in army surplus the files around me swarmOn a mission without a purpose, I wish I'd never been bornBy the light of a pale moon - TutankhamenHalf past high noon - TutankhamenPut you in the picture - 1884I'm up to date on the literaturebut I have never been here beforeThere is a black boy on the corner trailing me behindStalking like a vulture money on his mindIn the shadow of the giant sphinx the archeological taleBefore the eastern sun sinks I'll be learning brailleBy the light of a pale moon - TutankhamenHalf past high noon - TutankhamenThey are playing our tune - TutankhamenHalf past high noon - TutankhamenBy the light of a, light of a pale moon - TutankhamenHalf past high noon - TutankhamenBy the light of a pale moon - TutankhamenHalf past high noon - Tutankhamen
