Egypt

Lyrics for Egypt

Well, I dreamed I was in Egypt And all my friends were there They were talking about a leader Who would lead them from their cares Singing songs and writing postcards Waiting for him to arrive Once or twice I thought I saw some vapor trails But it must have been my eyes Well, I was standing alone in Egypt On the burning sand Trying to figure what was happening there This pistol in my hand There were people acting crazy Or maybe it was me Once or twice I thought I made some overtures But I knew this could not be "Well, I'll speak to you later," I said to my best friend "See you later yourself," he said to me right back again Yes, and I had to testify, every word is true And in the meantime, baby, what is there? Just me and you I said, "Come on, come on down to Egypt And stay there for a while You can join in the celebration Help us build a smile" But hey, what is this? Sense of sadness that makes me feel strangely glad It's just that something dies and being reborn And you know that can't be bad
