Tom Verlaine - Ancient Egypt lyrics

The minute I lay my head on the pillow, I'm in ancient Egypt; I can feel it glow. Warm and gold. Gold and warm. And I'll see you there, all dressed in raindrops. Need I explain? I don't think so, Pops. Warm and gold. Gold and warm. [Chorus] I've been working. I've been chopping wood, And this makes me a hungry man. And every time I Look up in my dream, I feel the touch of your sweet hand. I sit here now and watch you rub your leg. You tell me baby, that's just okay. Okay, okay. Okay. And I like to watch that ripple effect, As long as there is no shipwreck. Yes I do, Oh, yes I do. [Chorus] Yes, I used to have one or two reservations, So what? Well, so what? It's a likely story, it's not hard to tell. Maybe you and I will be in for a spell. In and out. Out and in. [Chorus] Yeah, I've been working. I've been chopping wood, And this makes me a hungry man. And every time I Look up in my dream, I feel the touch of your sweet hand.
