Paroles de Tut-ench-amon (Tutankhamen)

Lyrics: FALCO/V. Toulouse, Music: Robert Ponger; Published by P.S.-Music/Edition Falkenhorst
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, light of a pale moon - Tutankhamen
Half past high noon - Tutankhamen
By the light of a pale moon - Tutankhamen
Half past high noon - Tutankhamen
