Like Egypt Was

Lyrics

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
