I hear the ticking of the clock, I’m lying here the room’s pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight, no answer on your telephone And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won’t end though All alone
Till now, I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone
You don’t know how long I have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight You don’t know how long I have waited, and I was gonna tell you tonight But the secret is still my own And my love for you is still unknown All alone
All the old paintings on the tombs They do the sand dance, don’t you know? If they move too quick (oh, whey, oh) They’re falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile They got the money on a bet Gold crocodiles (oh, whey, oh) They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say (Ay-oh-whey-oh, ay-oh-whey-oh) Walk like an Egyptian
The blonde waitresses take their trays They spin around and they cross the floor They’ve got the moves (oh, whey, oh) You drop your drink then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books They like the punk and the metal band When the buzzer rings (oh, whey, oh) They’re walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say (Ay-oh-whey-oh, ay-oh-whey-oh) Walk like an Egyptian
[whistle]
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back Shift your arm, then you pull it back Life’s hard you know (oh, whey, oh) So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you wanna find all the cops They’re hanging out in the donut shop They sing and dance (oh, whey, oh) They spin the clubs cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yen The party boys call the Kremlin And the Chinese know (oh, whey, oh) They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say (Ay-oh-whey-oh, ay-oh-whey-oh) Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian
