Tut-Ench-Amon lyrics

Been and seen down flight from Chicago

All aboard the African Queen

I’m 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 flies 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
