Egypt
It's been a long hot road I've been upon
Through the desert of your soul
I've looked high and low for water
But it's not there
All the promises of springtime
Turned to lies, so cold
But I'm stronger than you know
And I've come to let you go
Chorus:
Go eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life
So eat it out
I've been a prisoner just locked away
Inside your velvet jail
But it don't matter at all
Some things can grow without the light
Spinning cages for her pleasure
Weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailerAll on fire, and then he dies
(Repeat chorus)
We speed across emotions
And then we lose our hold
We move on wings of passion
That we can't control
(Repeat Verse 1)
Alethea
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.
