Lyrics

I shook upon a bridge On a fault on the north ridge Where I placed a picture of you on my Etch-A-Sketch I give you now the river And it is too a river though You may not know That it is so And I do not suspect It's the kind that you'd expect In this respect It's concrete and cats Like Egypt was I'm on a three day binge On the lunatic fringe Palm Desert to the Valley of the Antelope Where you wore colognes Made of human pheromones And I only want to stay inside your envelope I'll take you to the river And it is too a river though You may not know That it is so I give you now the river Not the kind that you'd expect In this respect It's concrete and cats Like Egypt was I'm on a three day binge On the lunatic fringe From Riverside all the way to Livermore Where the scent she makes Will now emanate Until everyone in range Collapses to the floor And men will toil In suits of foil As they explain that this girl Was anointed with an oil I give you now the river And it is too a river though You may not know That it is so And I do not suspect It's the kind that you'd expect In this respect It's concrete and cats Like Egypt was Like Egypt was Like Egypt was
