The Pharaohs Lyrics

We were married in the mirrored hall
When I was sixteen
You spoke the words,
"I love girls in white leather jackets"
That was good enough for love
It was good enough for me

I listened in
When you thought you were alone
Calling the sphinx
On a tornado's phone
Who knows what you meant
I only heard what I wanted

You said I was your blue, blue baby
And you were right
You said I was your blue, blue baby
And you were right

Wandered the halls of the nighttime
My body burned
My legs ached
But you never came to bed
You just left me there awake
You kept me wanting, wanting, wanting
Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns
I want the pharaohs
But there's only men

I want the pharaohs
But there's only men

You said I was your blue, blue baby
And you were right
You said I was your blue, blue baby
And you were right
