The Pharaoh's Curse Songtext

von Russo

--- THE PHARAOH'S CURSE---

And her dark, dark painted eyes and the sun, cavin' down on my back
And her silk, silk skin shines like her hair, her hair tumbles in the sand
Until the sky turns black

My heart keeps beatin', beatin' like a rattlesnake
Like a Pharaoh's curse, just to make matters worse

I've got a lump in my throat, with her dark, dark painted eyes
And I carry her load, until we reach the boat
Between the misty, misty mountains

My heart keeps beatin', like a rattlesnake
Like a Pharaoh's curse, just to make matters worse

I keep her dress-pin, in my... shirt pocket
And her silk skin, her silk silk skin keeps on shinin'
Like her diamond ring sparkles, sparkles upon the lake

My heart keeps beatin', beatin' like a rattlesnake
My heart keeps beatin', beat beat beatin' like a rattlesnake
Like a Pharaoh's curse, just to make matters worse

There's a storm comin', there's a storm a-comin', the wind cries
My Seshemetka combs her hair, behind the night screen
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen

My heart's beatin'...

We're livin' on borrowed times, just like a daydream
Openin' like a rose
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen
And her diamond ring sparkles, upon the lake
Like a Pharaoh's curse
And those wide-winged birds, hangin' in the sky
Here comes the storm.
