Dressed in gold beneath pyramids
Out on the desert now and feeling lost
Comes in blazing from some vast horizon
Sighing just a little bit, sighing just a little bit
And I was thinking about my river days
And when you're empty there's so much space for them
The fairest daughter of the Pharaoh's son
Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Out on the desert now and feeling lost
With every steamboat like a hymn
Out on the desert now I'm feeling lost
Thinking about what Katy did
I was thinking about me and Jim
Somehow slipped out between the notes
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Sighing just a little bit, sighing just a little bit
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
You turn it off but then a still small voice
And I was thinking about what Katy done
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Ones and zeroes, bleeding mesa noise
Passing Cairo on a getaway
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
