Lyrics

Egyptian days - the pyramids grew and grew / the desert stood open mouthed / a chance for the chosen few / is always out of view / soon the drought came / thoughts changed from green to red / another sign that we weren’t quite dead / who shoot the flare / who made the call / when no one answered / we walked home alone / all alone in Cairo / with no where to stay / just another Egyptian day / I talked to strangers to see what they knew / they all said the same / “you have crossed the battle line” / after the storm I was a fossil / tried to get out but the walls were colossal / frozen, crystallized, stuck in your own cocoon / you come too soon / all alone in Cairo / with no where to stay / just another Egyptian day / I woke it was no dream / I saw Cairo in distance / from that day I no longer questioned our existence / back in the desert throw me a lifejacket / stand and call better stand and go / said the hieroglyphics on the wall / so I turned and then walked home alone / all alone in Cairo / with no where to stay / just another Egyptian day
