Lyrics for The Pharoahs
We were married in the mirrored hall when I was sixteen You spoke the words "I love girls in white leather jackets" That was good enough for love It was good enough for me I listened in when you thought you were alone Calling the Sphinx on a tornado's phone Who knows what you meant? I only heard what I wanted You said I was your blue, blue baby... and you were right You said I was your blue, blue baby... and you were right You wandered the halls all the night time My body burned, my legs ached But you never came to bed, you just left me there awake You kept me wanting, wanting, wanting Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns I want the Pharaohs but there's only men I want the Pharaohs but there's only men You said I was your blue, blue baby... and you were right You said I was your blue, blue baby... and you were right
