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
