Electric Six

Electric Six - Egyptian Cowboy lyrics

rate me

<br>

Strange raves on a Detroit bridge<br />

I was reaching for the rhythm but it's out of reach<br />

She was talking to the Buick<br />

She was cutting the tequila with bleach<br />

And she said to me<br />

<br />

There's no such thing as an Egyptian cowboy<br />

Your pretty haircut can't help you now, boy<br />

There's nothing we can do for you unless you're willing to kill<br />

Hey, come on and kill.<br />

<br />

I think this city could have used a woman's touch<br />

As I'm wading through the toxic waste and such<br />

Cuz everybody here said I won't amount to much<br />

Everybody here said I won't amount to much<br />

When I go from point A to point B I want thrills and chills and blood to spill<br />

<br />

But there's never any people on the people mover -<br />

Public transit equivalent of Herbert Hoover<br />

You're never gonna get anywhere because you're standing still<br />

standing still!<br />

<br />

These songs don't write themselves<br />

I've got a music workshop run by elves<br />

Making dozens of records by the twelves<br />

Stocking our product on Ikea shelves<br />

<br />

Let me state<br />

My state of mind, mind, mind<br />

is just fine.<br />

<br />

Baby, that's the sound of the years going by<br />

You can find me on the same bar stool just waiting to die.<br />

Three cheers to me, here's mud in your eye.<br />

I said, "Cheers to me, here's mud in your eye"<br />

She came to close out my tab, so I was troubled and she took a stab<br />

and she said to me<br />

<br />

There's no such thing as an electric tuba<br />

The Detroit River's not a good place to scuba<br />

The only reason you're here today is cuz we need you to kill<br />

Yeah, kill!<br />

<br />

My songs are tasty pies,<br />

fresh oven-baked and filled with lies<br />

Gobbled up by the dozen by Neanderthal guys<br />

Inhaling the aroma of Canadian lies<br />

Oh my, why you got quite a lot of problems, don't you?<br />

<br />

Shake that tambourine!<br />

Shake that shaker machine!<br />

Shake it, low.<br />

Shake it, high.<br />

Shake it.<br />

Shake it.

<br><br><br><br>
