There's a sky in the east over pyramids at Giza
Where there once lived a girl, she ruled the world
Then down the Nile he came with a smile

He was the king, she was the queen
Under the moonlight 
Your eyes won't believe what your mind can't conceive

Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Incense and myrrh and girls that swirl 
To the music
Nights over Egypt

Women fellahin
Wear veils to be seen by no one
Take a caravan across the Sudan
Saharan facade is just a mirage

Oasis in the sand where life once began
Under the moonlight
Your eyes won't believe what your mind can't conceive

Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
To the music
Nights over Egypt

Nights over Egypt
Incense and myrrh and girls that swirl 
To the music
Nights over Egypt

Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt
Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt

Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt
Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt

Oasis in the sand where life once began
Over Egypt
Your eyes won't believe what your mind can't conceive
Over Egypt
Oh yeah

Where there once lived a girl and she ruled the water
Over Egypt
Then down the Nile he came with a smile
Over Egypt
Take a caravan across the desert sand
Over Egypt
He was the king and she was the queen

Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt
Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt
Nights, nights
Nights over Egypt
Nights, nights...
