lyrics

Left my home some years ago,
I was bored of love and ready to blow
Hopped on a plane and I let you go
Packed up my troubles said, “be back in a week,”
That was ages ago, now I can’t sleep
Promise that you’ll never weep for me
Well I landed in Thebes and walked the footsteps of Zeus,
I met a girl in Rhodes who would fill your shoes for a fee
And drinkin’ with ‘Nysus is a real sweet time
I’ve got a head full of nothin’ and a mouth full of wine
Back in those days you never even crossed my mind

But a god gets lonely and this may be old news,
But the drink gets bitter and the lovers are one night only
At the end of the day when I empty my shoes,
I get the feeling the sand’s the only new thing to show you

Strung out in the garden I met the whore of Babylon,
Let’s just say her name is fittin’ and I’ll ramble on
This time minus five years I was already too far gone
But the land of milk and honey ain’t as sweet as it sounds
I was stumblin’ in the desert, not an angel to be found
Lookin’ every way but my head was stuck in the ground

And I’ll warrant when David played his harp,
And won over Johnny that he broke a woman’s heart
Strummin’ a guitar I just feel…
When I entered the temple they said to take off my shoes,
So I handed ‘em over, now I’ve got nothin’ left to lose

Well the pyramids at Giza have got their charm,
Another wonder and I’m disarmed,
But my company’s the dead
And a sarcophagus well it ain’t no bed...

Well I stood on the Sphinx and I thought of you,
And as I surveyed my kingdom I just wanted something new,
Something used
