Been and seen down flight from chicago  All aboard the African Queen  I am 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 files 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 pale moon - Tutankhamen  Half past high noon - Tutankhamen  They are playing our tune - Tutankhamen  Half past high noon - Tutankhamen  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
