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 isbut I know he is fraud

There is a map tucked under his shoulder

And a cap perched on his head

If he looked any olderhe might as well be dead



Dressed in army surplus the files around me swarm

On a mission without a purposeI 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 alight of a pale moon - tutankhamen

Half past high noon - tutankhamen

By the light of a pale moon - tutankhamen

Half past high noon - tutankhamen
