GOANNA BAND

Lyrics

When I last heard from yr’ brother
He said you were livin’ in Zanzibar
Playin’ your Aces clean and straight
Hangin’ in some local bar
But who’s the fool you’re cheatin’ now
In your savage game for one?
Is it the mystery man from who knows where
Or just some local bum?
Are you havin’ fun?
Spend all your money and all of your time
Dancin’ with the Pharaoh’s child
Through the borderland she leads you
Like a piper in a dream
You’re caught in between
I remember those hot summer nights so well
Where the insects would play in the light
Their shadows would dance on your fragile face
So soft ... so calm ... so white!
You laughed so wildly
Under the stars and moon
As you tore my defences down
Then led me helpless to the edge of the world
It just kept spinnin’ round ... goin’ down
Spend all your money and all of your time
Dancin’ with the Pharaoh’s child
Through the borderland she leads you
You keep playin’ out the scene
