Lyrics
The Pharaohs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were married in the mirrored hall when I was 16
You spoke the words, "I love girls in white leather jackets"
That was good enough for love, it was good enough for me
I listened in when you thought you were lost
Caught in those fangs on a tornado sprawl
Who knows what you know
I only heard what I wanted
You said I was your blue, blue baby
And you were right
You said I was your blue, blue baby
And you were right
Wondered the halls of the nighttime
My body burned, my legs ached
But you never came to bed
You just left me there awake
You kept me wanting wanting wanting
Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns
I want the pharaohs, but there's only men
I want the pharaohs, but there's only men
You said I was your new blue baby
And you were right
You said I was your new blue baby
And you were right
