Tut-ench-amon (tutankhamen)

Been and seen down flight from chicago
all aboard the african queen
i am on a night boat down to cairo
Feeling like a tourist with a foreign man abroad
tells it like he thinks it is, but i know he is fraud
there is a map tucked under his shoulder
and a cap perched on his head
if he looked any older, he might as well be dead
Dressed in army surplus the files around me swarm
on a mission without a purpose, i wish i'd never been born
By the light of a pale moon - tutankhamen
half past high noon - tutankhamen
Put you in the picture - 1884
i'm up to date on the literature
but i have never been here before
There is a black boy on the corner trailing me behind
stalking like a vulture money on his mind
in the shadow of the giant sphinx the archeological tale
before the eastern sun sinks i'll be learning braille
By the light of a pale moon - tutankhamen
half past high noon - tutankhamen
they are playing our tune - tutankhamen
half past high noon - tutankhamen
By the light of a, light of a pale moon - tutankhamen
half past high noon - tutankhamen
by the light of a pale moon - tutankhamen
half past high noon - tutankhamen
