Falco - Tut-Ench-Amon (Tutankhamen) lyrics

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
