Letra de Tut-Ench-Amon (Tutankhamen)

[Verso 1]
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

[Coro]
By the light of a pale moon
Tutankhamen
Half past high noon
Tutankhamen

[Verso 2]
I put you in the pictures, 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 archaeological tale
Before the eastern sun sinks
I'll be learning braille

[Coro]
By the light of a pale moon
Tutankhamen
Half past high noon
Tutankhamen
They are playing all our tune
Tutankhamen
Half past high noon
Tutankhamen

[Coro]
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
