Egypt

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] "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 [Verse 3] 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
