Egypt Lyrics

It's really no big deal; you're just too complex for me
But I really love the way you look today
And your poems are beautiful
I like the one about Egypt
But I can't see us together anyway

And don't talk to me like that
I'm still older than you
And I did not think of you today
That poem that you loved so much
Well, it's not about Egypt anyway

I know you drink too much and I don't drink at all
These days, I just can't seem to get through
No one likes an easy drunkard
I'm just really concerned about you

And don't talk to me like that
I'm still older than you
And I did not think of you all day
That poem that you loved so much
Well, it's not about Egypt anyway

Should have been my little sister, little angel
Or maybe I just want to be your dad

But as your friends
Drop off like a second skin
Remember, I'm the bits you never had
We all have bits you've never had

Don't talk to me like that
I'm still older than you
And I did not see you all day
That poem that you loved so much
Well, it's not about Egypt anyway

No, it's not about you
It's not about me
And it's not about Egypt
Don't you see it
It's all about loss
And it's all about the pain
And you're a country I would really love to visit some day

And I say, "How do you feel about that?"
And she said, "Well..."
And I say, "How do you feel about that?"
And she said, "Well..."
And I say, "How do you feel about that?"
And she said, "Baby, can't you tell?"

Don't talk to me like that
I'm still older than you
And I did not think of you all day
That poem that you loved so much
Well, it's not about Egypt anyway
