Blue Murder

Ptolemy

Blue Murder


People at the city say he's buried underground 
They're turning over the stones 
But there's nothing here to be found

Looking to the desert in a cool moonlight 
Nobody watching, there is no one out tonight

Standing in the shadows there's a real mean guy 
And I don't know if I'll make it 
And I don't know if I'm gonna die tonight

Take a caravan to the limit of the city 
Smoke the hookah pipes 
Where the people have no pity 
Ptolemy

The dogs will howl in the market square 
You'll bargain for your life 
But you leave their treasures there

Don't you go astray on the wrong side of the city 
Fighting for your life 
Where the people have no pity 
Ptolemy

(Solo)

I wish I'd never listened 
To that old high priest

He told me of the riches 
They buried beneath

Down in the crypt where the men fear to tread 
She danced the seven veils and the boy was nearly dead

Don't you go astray on the wrong side of the city 
Fighting for your life 
Where the people have no pity 
Ptolemy
