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>
