Michael Penn - Like Egypt Was - Текст песни

I shook upon a bridge 

On a fault on the north ridge

Where I placed a picture of you on my Etch-A-Sketch


I give you now the river

And it is too a river though

You may not know

That it is so

And I do not suspect

It's the kind that you'd expect

In this respect

It's concrete and cats

Like Egypt was


I'm on a three day binge

On the lunatic fringe

Palm Desert to the Valley of the Antelope

Where you wore colognes

Made of human pheromones

And I only want to stay inside your envelope


I'll take you to the river

And it is too a river though

You may not know

That it is so

I give you now the river

Not the kind that you'd expect

In this respect

It's concrete and cats

Like Egypt was


I'm on a three day binge

On the lunatic fringe

From Riverside all the way to Livermore

Where the scent she makes

Will now emanate

Until everyone in range

Collapses to the floor

And men will toil

In suits of foil

As they explain that this girl 

Was anointed with an oil 


I give you now the river

And it is too a river though

You may not know

That it is so

And I do not suspect

It's the kind that you'd expect

In this respect

It's concrete and cats

Like Egypt was

Like Egypt was

Like Egypt was
