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
