Cape To Rio |
She went from Cape to Cairo |
I went from Cape to Rio |
She drinks her Tanqueray |
But it’s Mainstay for me-o |
My heart and soul are hardened |
I built the Hanging Gardens |
I let my tears flow |
I let my tears flow |
Oh what bitter stuff |
Don’t say my song’s too slow! |
Don’t talk cause you don’t know |
The place I come from is a place you never go |
No no it’s not enough |
I want more of this bitter stuff |
You’ll see me swaying as you’re praying for my fall |
I try to understand her |
Outside on the blue veranda |
When she feels pleasure |
It’s a measure of my worth |
They say never say never |
But my name’s Nebuchadnezzar |
And I’ll never let it go |
I’ll never let it go |
No it’s not enough |
Don’t say my song’s too slow! |
Don’t talk cause you don’t know |
The place I come from is a place you never go |
No no it’s not enough |
I want more of this bitter stuff |
You’ll see me swaying as you’re praying for my fall |
She makes the feeling purer |
With a dash of Angostura |
I’ve learned the art |
Of being everywhere at once |
I built the Cape to Cairo |
I drank the Cape to Rio |
I died an emperor |
And came back as a griot, oh |
Don’t say my song’s too slow! |
Don’t talk cause you don’t know |
The place I come from is a place you never go |
No no it’s not enough |
I want more of this bitter stuff |
You’ll see me swaying as you’re praying for my fall |
Don’t say my song’s too slow! |
Don’t talk cause you don’t know |
The place I come from is a place you never go |
No no it’s not enough |
I want more of this bitter stuff |
You’ll see me haggard as I stagger down the hall |
