CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Egypt
Well, I dreamed I was in Egypt
And all my friends were there
They were talking about a leader
Gonna 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 virgin sand
Trying to figure what was happening there
His 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
Stay there for a while
You can join in the celebrations
Help us build a smile
Hey, what is this sense of sadness
That makes me feel strangely glad?
It's just that something died is being reborn
And you know that can't be bad
And all my friends were there
They were talking about a leader
Gonna 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 virgin sand
Trying to figure what was happening there
His 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
Stay there for a while
You can join in the celebrations
Help us build a smile
Hey, what is this sense of sadness
That makes me feel strangely glad?
It's just that something died is being reborn
And you know that can't be bad
